  1. 11. Role of MYCN in retinoblastoma : From carcinogenesis to tumor progression

    Författare :Hanzhao Zhang; Finn Hallböök; Johan Holmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MYCN; retinoblastoma; RNA sequencing; cancer; avian; E2F; carcinogenesis; Developmental Neurosciences; Medicinsk utvecklings- och neurobiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Retinoblastoma, a pediatric malignancy of the retina, is primarily driven by the bi-allelic inactivation of the RB1gene. However, a subset of cases are characterized by proficient RB1 functions but with MYCN copy number mutations, suggesting an alternative oncogenic mechanism in the absence of RB1 mutations. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Genetic characterization of malignant melanoma and breast cancer

    Författare :Göran B Jönsson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; Cytology; microarray; inherited breast cancer; Melanoma; linkage analysis; cancer; Cytologi; cancerology; onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant melanoma and breast cancer are common malignant diseases characterized by considerable heterogeneity with respect to genetics, histopathology, biology and clinical course. In breast cancer, two major susceptibility genes have been identified, BRCA1 and BRCA2, which account for a significant proportion of high-risk breast cancer families. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Estrogen receptor alpha and beta in breast cancer - gene expression profiles and clinical implications

    Författare :Sofia Gruvberger; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk biologi; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer; Cytology; artificial neural networks; gene expression profiling; microarray; tamoxifen; adjuvant endocrine therapy; ER; estrogen receptor beta; Breast cancer; estrogen receptor alpha; Clinical biology;

    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women in the Western world with about 10% of women developing breast cancer during their lifetime, of which one third will eventually succumb to the metastatic form of the disease. Breast cancer arises from the epithelial cells of the breast mammary gland, but the mechanisms involved in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis are still not fully understood. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Patient-derived scaffolds as a 3D model for breast cancer

    Författare :Anna Gustafsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; patient-derived scaffolds; cancer microenvironment; 3D model; cancer stem cells; drug testing;

    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common cancer form in women worldwide. Many patients will have recurrent disease and more efficient targeted therapies are needed. The tumor microenvironment is a heterogenous complex mix of cells and components influencing critical cancer processes including progression, signaling and invasion. LÄS MER

  7. 15. The role of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase type І alpha (PIP5K1α) and utility of its inhibitor for targeting metastatic cancer

    Författare :Martuza Sarwar; Malmö Experimentell cancerforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate Cancer; Breast cancer; Cancer therapy; PIP5K1A; PI3K AKT signal pathway; Kinase inhibitors;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cause of cancer-related death in men after lung cancer. Annually, more than 9000 new cases are diagnosed in Sweden and 2500 of them die each year. Metastatic prostate cancer can be treated with castration. LÄS MER
