  1. 1. Detection of human papillomavirus : a study of normal cells, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cancer of the uterine cervix

    Författare :Magnus Evander; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HPV; PCR; General primers; Genital cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections of the genital tract are now recognized to be among the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases and also a contributing factor to some cancers of the lower genital tract of women and men. Presence of HPV in a clinical specimen is confined to detection of the HPV genome by DNA hybridization techniques. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Natural History of Human Papillomavirus Infections and Other Sexually Transmitted Infections in Rwanda-Immunological Aspects of the Uterine Cervix

    Författare :Marie Francoise Mukanyangezi; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Objective: Cervical cancer stands for the predominant cause of cancer death among Rwandan women. Chronic Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection constitutes the main risk factor. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Studies on the biological functions of interaction between components in Wnt, TGF-β and HIF pathways for cancer progression

    Författare :Karthik Aripaka; Maréne Landström; Jonas von Hofsten; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Ruth Palmer; Lars-Gunnar Larsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TRAF6; HIF-1α; HIF-2α; HIF-3α; ALK5; Wnt3a; Hypoxic signalling; TGF-β; zebrafish; β-Catenin; Pathology; patologi; Oncology; onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer is a disease that involves aggressive changes in the genome and aberrant signals between the living cells. Signalling pathways such as TGF-β (Transforming growth factor-β), Wnt, EGF (epidermal growth factor) and HIF (Hypoxia-inducible factor) evolved to regulate growth and development in mammals. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Image Analysis in Support of Computer-Assisted Cervical Cancer Screening

    Författare :Patrik Malm; Ewert Bengtsson; Calum MacAulay; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Image analysis; cervical cancer; pap-smear; synthetic images; screening; image processing; cytometry; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer is a disease that annually claims the lives of over a quarter of a million women. A substantial number of these deaths could be prevented if population wide cancer screening, based on the Papanicolaou test, were globally available. The Papanicolaou test involves a visual review of cellular material obtained from the uterine cervix. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hormonal consequences, replacement therapy, and lost workdays after cervical cancer treatment

    Författare :Åsa Hallqvist Everhov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Uterine cervical cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Uterine cervical cancer affects women of all ages and has a generally favorable prognosis. Many survivors live long with the consequences of the disease and its treatment, and therefore it is important to characterize potential treatment-induced morbidity. LÄS MER
