  1. 1. Laparoscopy and tumour growth : a clinical and experimental study

    Författare :Owe Lundberg; Anders Kristoffersson; Dag Arvidsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; laparoscopy; tumour growth; metastases; gallbladder cancer; pneumoperitoneum; blood flow; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Laparoscopic technique was quickly adopted in general surgery because of less pain, quicker recovery and shorter hospital stay. In the 1990´s several reports on port site metastases restrained the enthusiasm to use laparoscopic surgery in malignant diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Prostate cancer and bone cell interactions : implications for metastatic growth and therapy

    Författare :Annika Nordstrand; Pernilla Wikström; Anders Widmark; Jonas Nilsson; Päivi Östling; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; onkologi; Oncology;

    Sammanfattning : The skeleton is the most common site of prostate cancer bone metastasis, and at present, there are no curable treatments for these patients. To further understand what stimulates tumor cell growth in the bone microenvironment and to find suitable therapies, reliable model systems are needed. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Quantitative analysis of tumor growth and response to therapy

    Författare :Esmaeil Mehrara; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tumor; growth; response; therapy; modeling; clinical;

    Sammanfattning : Modeling the natural growth of tumors is of value for evaluation of tumor progression and optimization of treatment strategies. However, modeling tumor growth based on clinical data is hampered by the limited data available, since therapy is in general initiated as early as possible after diagnosis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Androgen controlled regulatory systems in prostate cancer : potential new therapeutic targets and prognostic markers

    Författare :Peter Hammarsten; Anders Bergh; Stina Häggström Rudolfsson; Pernilla Wikström; Sten Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; prostate cancer; angiogenesis; human biopsy; androgen ablation; castration; prognostic marker; prognostic factor; growth control; VEGF; vascular endothelial growth factor; EGFR; epidermal growth factor receptor; pEGFR; phosphorylated EGFR; phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor; Pathology; Patologi;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is by far the most common cancer among Swedish men. Some patients have an aggressive lethal disease, but the majority of affected men have long expected survival. Unfortunately, the diagnostic tools available are insufficient in predicting disease aggressiveness. Novel prognostic markers are therefore urgently needed. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Metastatic Mechanisms in Malignant Tumors

    Författare :Linda Bojmar; Per Sandström; Olle Stål; Marie Larsson; Ingemar Ernberg; Linköpings universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : The ultimate cause of cancer related deaths is metastasis. This thesis is about three of the main human cancers; breast, colorectal and pancreatic cancer, that together account for more than 25% of the cancer-related deaths worldwide. LÄS MER
