21. Targeted radionuclide therapy for patients with neuroendocrine tumours with focus on normal tissue response in 177-Lu-DOTATATE treatment
Sammanfattning : Targeted radionuclide therapy with 177Lu-DOTATATE for patients with neuroendocrine tumours utilises the frequent overexpressing of somatostatin receptors on the tumour cells. This treatment modality has demonstrated valuable patient benefits and is well tolerated. However, renal and bone marrow toxicity can become dose limiting and persisting. LÄS MER
22. Expression and function of the protein tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2 in prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in males in Western countries. Radical prostatectomy serves as the first line of treatment for patients with localised prostate cancer. However, in many cases the cancer will recur. It is currently difficult to identify those patients at a high risk of tumour recurrence. LÄS MER
23. The role of suppressor of fused in development and tumorigenesis in the mouse
Sammanfattning : Embryonic development is a process that involves a number of evolutionarily well-conserved signaling cascades, including the hedgehog pathway. Mutations in components of this pathway have been identified in certain developmental disorders, and in many different kinds of cancers. LÄS MER
24. Aspects on Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours
Sammanfattning : Aspects on Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours Background. Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) originate from endocrine cells of the intestinal mucosa and pancreas. LÄS MER
25. Islet xenograft rejection : studies in the pig-to-rodents and pig-to-primate models
Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis was: 1) to compare islet allo- and xenograft rejection in rats, using immunosuppression with CsA in a mixed allogeneic-xenogeneic islet transplantation model, 2) to evaluate the efficacy of various immunosuppressive drugs, with special reference to Leflunomide, in preventing islet xenograft rejection in the pig-to-rat model, 3) to perform an immunohistochemical study of porcine islet xenograft rejection in primates including primates treated with CsA+DSG, and 4) to study the metabolism and excretion of porcine C-peptide in mice, with special reference to the use of donor-specific C-peptide for monitoring islet xenograft function. In summary, the results were as follows: 1. LÄS MER
