   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; extracellular fluids; Hematologi; Haematology; onkologi; Cytologi; cancerology; oncology; Cytology; gene expression profiling; acute lymphoblastic leukemia; chronic myeloid leukemia; Ph chromosome; BCR ABL; extracellulära vätskor; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; cancer;

   Sammanfattning : The BCR/ABL1 fusion gene is associated with chronic myeloid leukemia and a subgroup of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The general aim of this thesis was to increase the understanding of BCR/ABL1-induced leukemogenesis by molecular and functional studies of this fusion gene. LÄS MER

3. 7. Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells and Other Immune Escape Mechanisms in Chronic Leukemia

   Författare :Lisa Christiansson; Angelica S I Loskog; Ulla Olsson-Strömberg; Andreas Lundqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic myeloid leukemia; myeloid-derived suppressor cells; sCD25; tyrosine kinase inhibitors; multiplex protein quantification; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the Philadelphia chromosome, a minute chromosome that leads to the creation of the fusion gene BCR/ABL and the transcription of the fusion protein BCR/ABL in transformed cells. The constitutively active tyrosine kinase BCR/ABL confers enhanced proliferation and survival on leukemic cells. LÄS MER

4. 8. Clinical and Experimental Studies in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia : Studies of Treatment Outcome, In Vitro Cellular Drug Resistance and Gene Expression

   Författare :Ulla Olsson-Strömberg; Bengt Simonsson; Elin Lindhagen; Gisela Barbany; Johan Richter; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medicine; chronic myeloid leukemia; adult; stem cell transplantation; mobilization of Ph-negative stem cells; in vitro assay; imatinib; gene expression; Medicin;

   Sammanfattning : The aims of the studies described in the thesis were to investigate different treatment strategies in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. Furthermore, activity of imatinib was investigated by in vitro cytotoxicity assay, and the gene expression pattern in interferon treated patients. LÄS MER

5. 9. Modelling the evolution of treatment-induced resistance in Ph+ leukaemias

   Författare :Jonathan Lindström; Ran Friedman; Arne Traulsen; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic myeloid leukaemia; Stochastic modelling; Tyrosine kinase inhibitor; Drug resistance; Clonal evolution; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap; Medicinsk kemi; Medical Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : Targeted therapies are a mainstay of modern cancer treatments. Rather than harming rapidly dividing cells in general, targeted therapies work by directly interfering with oncogenic molecular pathways present in a tumour. Consequently, a targeted therapy typically has less severe side effects. LÄS MER

7. 10. Population-Based Long-Term Follow-up of Patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, complications and prognosis

   Författare :Khadija Abdulkarim; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; essential thrombocythemia; polycythemia vera; myelofibrosis;

   Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-MPNs) are rare clonal hematological malignancies, mainly including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF). Patients with these diseases run a high risk of vascular complications and may transform to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). LÄS MER
