  1. 16. Investigation of small-cell lung cancer epidemiology in Sweden and analysis of clinical and tumor specific prognostic biomarkers

    Författare :Salomon Tendler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 13% of all newly diagnosed lung cancer (LC) cases. This disease is correlated with heavy smoking. It is characterized by a rapid doubling time combined with a propensity to metastasize quickly and by neuroendocrine differentiation. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Further delineation of molecular alterations in adreno-medullary tumors

    Författare :Janos Geli; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Pheochromocytoma; abdominal paraganglioma; neuroblastoma; tumor suppressor gene; DNA methylation; gene expression; RIZ1; NORE1A; RASSF1A; CDKN2A;

    Sammanfattning : Pheochromocytomas, abdominal paragangliomas and neuroblastomas are tumors of the sympathetic nervous system. Anatomically pheochromocytomas and abdominal paragangliomas arise from sympathoadrenal paraganglia, within and outside the adrenal medulla, respectively. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Lutetium-177-octreotate treatment of small intestine neuroendocrine tumors - Radiation biology as basis for optimization

    Författare :Johan Spetz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; PRRT; somatostatin receptors; SSTR; midgut carcinoid; radiogenomics;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) often have metastatic spread at the time of diagnosis. NETs frequently express somatostatin receptors (SSTR) that can be targeted by radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (e.g. 177Lu-octreotate). LÄS MER

  5. 19. DNA methylation and gene expression patterns in adrenal medullary tumors

    Författare :Nimrod G B Kiss; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pheochromocytomas and abdominal paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors of the autonomous nervous system, arising in adrenal medulla and sympathetic ganglia throughout the abdomen. These tumors originate from catecholamine-producing chromaffin cells. Neuroblastomas are common childhood tumors in the adrenal medulla and abdominal ganglia. LÄS MER

  7. 20. The role of psychological stress in cervical and prostate carcinogenesis

    Författare :Donghao Lu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Psychological stress is common in everyday life, and has been well recognized as one of the major contributors to many mental and physical illnesses, such as mental disorders and cardiovascular diseases. The association between psychological stress and carcinogenesis remains largely inconclusive to date, although possible biological mechanisms, i. LÄS MER
