  1. 1. Genotoxic effects of systemic chemotherapy in cancer patients, with special focus on the relation between MSI, LOH and development of secondary cancers

    Författare :Nasir K. Kamat; Ulf Rannug; Giovanni Corso; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemotherapy; Genetic instability; Microsatellites instability; Loss of heterozygosity; Mismatch repair; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Systemic chemotherapy results in both phenotypic and genotypic side effects. Genotoxicity posed by chemotherapy is a major concern since it induces DNA damage and instability in the patients’ genome. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Rectal Cancer - Tumor Biology and Prognostic Markers

    Författare :Eva Fernebro; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prognostic markers; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer; immunohistochemistry IHC ; chromosomal instability CIN ; microsatellite instability MSI ; tissue microarray TMA ; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 TIMP-1 ; Rectal cancer; soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor suPAR ;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer is one of our most common malignancies and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. About 1/3 of the tumors are located in the rectum. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Colorectal Cancer : Aspects of Heredity, Prognosis and Tumour Markers

    Författare :Lana Ghanipour; Helgi Birgisson; Lars Påhlman; Karin Jirström; Tom Öresland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :colorectal cancer; heredity; Tryptophanyl t-RNA synthetase; microsatellite instability; SP-PLA; prognosis; biomarkers;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancer types and leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Since CRC is a heterogenic disease, there is a demand for increased knowledge of the underlying genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. The aim of this thesis was to investigate heredity and potential tumour markers in relation to prognosis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A cohort study of sex differences and prognostic biomarkers in colorectal cancer

    Författare :Sakarias Wangefjord; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; prognosis; treatment prediction; biomarkers; sex differences; cyclin D1; microsatellite instability; beta-catenin; KRAS mutation; BRAF mutation; EGFR expression; EGFR gene copy number alterations;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common forms of cancer worldwide, with an annual incidence of more than 1 million cases. Despite advancements in the management of CRC, mortality remains high. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer - Molecular Genetics and Biology of Associated Tumors

    Författare :Maria Planck; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; endometrial cancer; rectal cancer; colon cancer; mismatch repair protein expression; coding repeats; microsatellite instability; MSH6; MSH2; Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer; MLH1; small bowel cancer; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on one of the most common types of hereditary cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). This syndrome is characterized by an autosomal dominant inheritance, an increased risk for several types of cancer (especially cancer of the colorectum, small bowel, endometrium, ovary and urinary tract), early age at diagnosis, and frequent development of multiple primary malignancies.
