1. Refined diagnosis and prognosis in soft tissue sarcoma - genetic profiles, biomarkers and prognostic models
Sammanfattning : This work aimed at evaluate diagnosis and prognosis in soft tissue sarcoma (STS): In study I, 32K bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) arrays and gene expression profiling were applied to 18 leiomyosarcomas and 31 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPS), with the aim of identifying molecular subtype signatures. Both the gains/losses profiles and the gene expression signatures revealed striking similarities between the two tumour types. LÄS MER
2. Proteomic Analysis of Urinary Bladder Cancer : Aiming for Novel Biomarkers
Sammanfattning : Urinary bladder cancer is a heterogeneous disease appearing in different forms, e.g. non-muscle invasive and muscle invasive. For all variants, the expression of proteins is interesting to analyze for diagnostic, predictive, prognostic and drug targeting purposes, since it reflects the altered gene expression causing the cancer.

3. Chemosensitivity in Breast Cancer
Sammanfattning : Breast cancer mortality in Sweden is now in decline, thanks to early detection and the wide use of adjuvant endocrine therapy and chemotherapy. While hormone receptor status is predictive of response to endocrine treatment, there is no clinically useful predictive marker of a patient’s response to chemotherapy. LÄS MER
4. Role of MYCN in retinoblastoma : From carcinogenesis to tumor progression
Sammanfattning : Retinoblastoma, a pediatric malignancy of the retina, is primarily driven by the bi-allelic inactivation of the RB1gene. However, a subset of cases are characterized by proficient RB1 functions but with MYCN copy number mutations, suggesting an alternative oncogenic mechanism in the absence of RB1 mutations. LÄS MER
5. DNA fragility in the context of neural stem cell fate : a multi-method integrative exploration of genome dynamics
Sammanfattning : Recent advances in mapping the complex genetic architecture underlying various debilitating brain disorders have enabled identification of several genetic risk variants. However, these risk variants only explain part of the heritability and vulnerability to these disorders in early development. LÄS MER
