  1. 6. Genetic epidemiology of prostate cancer

    Författare :Fredrik Wiklund; Henrik Grönberg; Douglas Easton; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; prostate cancer; epidemiology; genetics; linkage analysis; genome-wide scan; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is a major health burden throughout the world, yet the etiology of prostate cancer is poorly understood. Evidence has accumulated supporting the existence of a hereditary form of this disease. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Colorectal Cancer : Audit and Health Economy in Colorectal Cancer Surgery in a Defined Swedish Population

    Författare :Pia Jestin; Ulf Gunnarsson; Lars Påhlman; Bengt Glimelius; Jörgen Rutegård; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; colorectal cancer; colon cancer; rectal cancer; epidemiology; quality assurance; quality control; health economy; survival; hospital category; emergency surgery; lymph nodes; tumour staging; anastomotic leakage; case-control study; surgical complications; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in Sweden, with more than 5000 new cases annually. Median age at time of diagnosis is approximately 75 years. Owing to the ageing population, the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Circulating markers of risk and etiology in colorectal cancer

    Författare :Justin Harbs; Sophia Harlid; Bethany van Guelpen; Xijia Liu; Henrik Grönberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Colorectal cancer; CRC; sex hormones; colon cancer; DNA methylation; proteomics; risk; etiology; Cancer Epidemiology; cancerepidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women. Worldwide around 2 million individuals are diagnosed each year – a number expected to increase as colorectal cancer risk factors become more prevalent. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Biomarkers of one-carbon metabolism in colorectal cancer risk

    Författare :Björn Gylling; Richard Palmqvist; Katarina Bälter; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Colorectal cancer; one-carbon metabolism; biomarkers; folate; epidemiology; Cancer Epidemiology; cancerepidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : One-carbon metabolism, a network of enzymatic reactions involving the transfer of methyl groups, depends on B-vitamins as cofactors, folate as a methyl group carrier, and amino acids, betaine, and choline as methyl group donors. One-carbon metabolism influences many processes in cancer initiation and development such as DNA synthesis, genome stability, and histone and epigenetic methylation. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Prospective studies of hormonal and life-style related factors and risk of cancer

    Författare :Sara Wirén; Pär Stattin; Håkan Jonsson; Tanja Stocks; Alicja Wolk; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; epidemiology; androgens; risk factors; fatherhood status; dizygotic twins; height; cohort; case-control; prospective; Cancer Epidemiology; cancerepidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Androgens are important in prostate cancer development but how circulating levels of androgens affect risk of prostate cancer of different aggressiveness is not clear. Being childless has been associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer, but it is not clear if this association is causal or a result of residual confounding. LÄS MER
