6. AIDS and endemic Kaposi's sarcoma development : comparison by histopathology, virology (HHV8/KSHV) and cytogenetics
Sammanfattning : Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a highly and abnormally vascularized tumor-like lesion with spindle cells (SC) affecting the skin, lymphnodes and viscera which is found in four different clinico-epidemiological forms as Classic KS (CKS), Iatrogenic KS (IKS), Endemic KS (EKS) and AIDS-associated KS (AKS). All KS forms develop from early stages of patch/plaque to late, nodular tumors and are associated with Kaposi's sarcomaassociated herpesvirus or human herpesvirus-8 (KSHV/ HHV-8). LÄS MER
7. Seroepidemiology of sexually transmitted infections of prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Background: There has been substantial progress in epidemiological research on prostate cancer over the last decade. An area of increasing interest is the possible role of sexual activity and history of sexually transmitted infections as a risk factor for prostate cancer. LÄS MER
8. Oncogenic mechanisms of AIDS-related neoplasia in humans and SIV infected monkeys
Sammanfattning : Patients with AIDS or immunosuppressive post-transplant therapy are at high risk to develop Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and malignant lymphoma that represent clinically lethal complications. Lymphomagenesis in simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infected cynomolgus monkeys has been shown to be highly similar to lymphomagenesis in immunosuppressed patients. LÄS MER
9. Impact of malaria on B-cell homeostasis and Epstein-Barr virus reactivation : endemic Burkitt's lymphoma pathogenesis
Sammanfattning : Over recent years, the concept that many diseases can be aetiologically linked to infection by more than one pathogen has gained increased attention and awareness. Plasmodium falciparum (P. LÄS MER
