  1. 16. Epidemiologic studies of cervical cancer in Costa Rica

    Författare :Rolando Herrero; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cervical cancer; LatinAmerica; Costa Rica; human papilloma-virus; screening; riskfactors; epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : A case-control study of cervical cancer was conducted in Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico and Panama from 1986 to 1987, to determine risk factors operating in these traditionally high-incidence areas. The study included 759 cases and 1,430 hospital and community controls, and accomplished more than 95% participation rates for both types of participants. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Factors of importance for radiosensitivity of tonsillar carcinoma

    Författare :Signe Friesland; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :TC; radiotherapy; radiosensitivity; complete remission; HPV; P53; MDM2; DNA-PK; DNA-PKcs; Ku86; Ku70.;

    Sammanfattning : Radiotherapy (RT) alone or in combination with surgery is the only curative treatment of tonsillar carcinoma (TC). As distant metastases are rare the loco-regional control is the most important factor determining survival. Methods for prediction of radiocurability are lacking. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Genetic susceptibility to cervical and gastric cancer

    Författare :Patrik Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; cervical cancer; gastric cancer; genetic susceptibility; familiality; heritability; HPV; Helicobacter pylori; genetic association; HLA; P53; loss of heterozygosity; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical and gastric cancer both to a large extent depend on infectious agents. Cervical infection with human papilloma virus increases the risk for cervical cancer substantially, and infection with the bacteria Helicobacter pylori increases the risk for gastric cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Cancer Genomics - Molecular Analysis of Epithelial Cells

    Författare :Anna C. Gustafsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :DNA microarray; Pyrosequencing;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer is a disease involving multiple causal andsymptomatic genetic changes, collectively reflecting theselective pressures that occur during tumor development.Epithelial cancers are by far the most common type of cancerworldwide and investigation of the alterations associated withepithelial carcinogenesis will ultimately lead to improvementsin diagnosis, prognosis, prevention and treatment of thedisease.

  7. 20. Cervical screening with primary HPV : from research to clinical effectiveness

    Författare :Lovisa Bergengren; Gisela Helenius; Mats Karlsson; Matts Olovsson; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cervical cancer; screening; human papillomavirus HPV ; HPV prevalence; HPV genotypes; precancerous lesion; HSIL; self-sampling; postmenopausal women; health economy;

    Sammanfattning : Organized cervical screening has greatly reduced the incidence of cervical cancer where implemented. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the cause of cervical cancer, and in later years, convincing evidence has led to cervical screening with HPV as the primary method being implemented around the world.
