    Sammanfattning : A wide range of cancers throughout the body are characterized by high nerve density and invasion of cancer cells within the nerves, a process called perineural invasion (PNI). Work in the field has shown that blocking nerves in organs with tumors leads to improved disease outcomes suggesting that finding ways to block tumor nerves could lead to new treatment approaches.

    Sammanfattning : Background: With a yearly incidence of 56 per 100,000 inhabitants, colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies in the Western world, representing the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Within three years after the diagnosis of CRC, 29% of patients will have developed liver metastases. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Histopathological and genetic aspects of colorectal cancer

    Författare :Sam Ghazi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common form of cancer in Sweden. The etiology of CRC is considered to be influenced by environmental risk factors on a background of constitutional and acquired genetic variations. It is estimated that inherited susceptibility accounts for approximately 35% of all CRC cases. LÄS MER
