  1. 6. Childhood cancer and school

    Författare :Margareta af Sandeberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :childhood cancer;

    Sammanfattning : The school situation is one area identified as being affected during and after treatment for childhood cancer and only studied to a limited extent. A contributing factor to that school absence is not always recommended is uncertainty about whether it increases the risk of infection. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Somatic Genetic Variation in Children: from Mosaicism to Cancer

    Författare :Anders Valind; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Somatic Mosaicism; Cancer; Tumor heterogeneity; Neuroblastoma; Wilms Tumor; Rhabdomyosarcoma; Aneuploidy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns various aspects of somatic mosaicism and genetic intratumor heterogeneity in childhood cancer.In paper I, I show that aneuploidy in itself does not lead to the level of chromosomal instability that is typically seen in malignant cells. This finding strongly argues against the so called autocatalytic theory of carcinogenesis. LÄS MER

    Författare :El Malla Hanan; Göteborgs universitet; []

  5. 9. Hypoxia and Stem Cells in Normal and Tumor Development

    Författare :Camilla Niklasson; Avdelningen för translationell cancerforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; neuroblastoma; hypoxia; preclinical cancer models; ALDH; HIF-2α; PT2385;

    Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma is a childhood malignancy of the sympathetic nervous system and accounts for 15% of all cancer-related deaths in children. To understand the biology behind neuroblastoma, clarify timing of cellular events and expression profiles of proteins preceding neuroblastoma initiation, we need more relevant preclinical models.

  7. 10. Multi-level characterization of host and pathogen in Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric carcinogenesis

    Författare :Kaisa Thorell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gastroenterology; cancer; infection; Helicobacter pylori; sequencing; genomics; transcriptomics; genomics;

    Sammanfattning : Today, more than half of the world’s population is infected with Helicobacter pylori, and two to three per cent of these will develop gastric cancer associated with this infection. Gastric cancer is today the third largest cause of cancer mortality worldwide, with more than 700 000 deaths annually, a number that is expected to increase. H. LÄS MER
