    Sammanfattning : Background: The secretory epithelial cells of the prostate gland use sophisticated vehicles named prostasomes to relay important information to sperm cells in semen. This prostasome-forming and secretory ability of the epithelial cells is also preserved in poorly differentiated prostate cancer cells. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Regulatory Proteins in Progenitors and Differentiated Cells of the Human Prostate

    Författare :Jens Ceder; Malmö (Abrahamsson) Urologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mesenchymal stem cells; somatostatin; transit amplifying cells; cell differentiation; adult stem cells; Prostate gland; prostatic benign hyperplasia; neuroendocrine cells; prostate cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PC) develops from an androgen-dependent tissue that contains androgen receptors in both the stromal and glandular compartments. Surgical removal of the prostate may cure the patient, but if metastatic spread has occurred, androgen suppression therapy is the standard treatment. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Metabolism of free and complexed prostate - specific antigen and their utility for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer

    Författare :Thomas Björk; Malmö Urologisk cancerforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; benign prostatic hyperplasia; alpha-1-antichymotrypsin; PSA; prostate cancer; prostate-specific antigen; Urology; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein produced by the prostate gland. It occurs in several molecular forms in the blood and assays have been developed to measure free PSA and PSA in complex with alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (PSA-ACT). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Prostate Diseases and the Metabolic Syndrome

    Författare :Mohammad-Ali Haghsheno; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate Cancer; Metabolic Syndrome; Vitamin D; Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; Osteocalcin;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the association between the components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), including vitamin D, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The focus was on the relationship between diseases of the prostate, mainly benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) and prostate cancer (PC). LÄS MER

  7. 5. A nutrition intervention in men with prostate cancer : Exploring effects on bowel symptoms from radiotherapy, patient experience, and nutrient intake

    Författare :Marina Forslund; Birgitta Johansson; Peter Nygren; Anna Ottenblad; Anna Winkvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nutrition intervention; bowel symptoms; radiotherapy; prostate cancer; Caring Sciences; Vårdvetenskap; Nutrition; Nutrition;

    Sammanfattning : Objective The main objective of this thesis was to explore the effects of a nutrition intervention on acute and late bowel symptoms in men with localised prostate cancer treated with pelvic radiotherapy (study I), participants’ experiences from receiving the nutrition intervention (study II), and associations with nutrient intakes (study III).Methods A total of 180 men with localised prostate cancer referred to curative radiotherapy targeting the prostate gland and pelvic lymph nodes were recruited to the trial.
