16. Lung Metastases - Diagnostic, Prognostic and Molecular Aspects with Focus on Colorectal Cancer
Sammanfattning : In Sweden 4200 patients are diagnosed with lung cancer and 6500 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) annually. The lungs are a common site for metastases. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a helpful aid in diagnostics of a pulmonary tumour. LÄS MER
17. A targeted approach to maintenance of tumour response. Clinical and translational studies in metastatic colorectal cancer
Sammanfattning : In metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) chemotherapy +/- targeted therapy with palliative intent aims at prolonging survival with sustained quality of life. Maintenance of tumour response by a period of less intense treatment maydelay progression and accumulation of unacceptable toxicity. LÄS MER
18. Sex, hormonal factors and pancreatic cancer
Sammanfattning : Pancreatic cancer represents three percent of all incident cancer cases in developed countries, but stands the 7th most common cause of cancer related death. Worldwide, pancreatic cancer is more common among men, however in Sweden, the incidence ratio between sexes is levelling. LÄS MER
19. Defining the importance of protein geranylgeranylation in innate immunity
Sammanfattning : RHO family proteins and other intracellular proteins are prenylated with a 20-carbon lipid—a product of the cholesterol synthesis pathway—by protein geranylgeranyltransferase type I (GGTase-I). Prenylation is widely believed to target proteins to membranes where they encounter effector molecules that stimulate GTP-binding and activation. LÄS MER
20. Prostaglandins and angiogenesis in experimental cancer
Sammanfattning : Background and aim. Genes, proteins and pathways have been identified and suggested as potential targets in tumor angiogenesis, but current anti-angiogenic therapies have provided only modest benefits in survival of cancer patients. LÄS MER
