1. 16. Genetic characterization of malignant melanoma and breast cancer

   Författare :Göran B Jönsson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; Cytology; microarray; inherited breast cancer; Melanoma; linkage analysis; cancer; Cytologi; cancerology; onkologi;

   Sammanfattning : Malignant melanoma and breast cancer are common malignant diseases characterized by considerable heterogeneity with respect to genetics, histopathology, biology and clinical course. In breast cancer, two major susceptibility genes have been identified, BRCA1 and BRCA2, which account for a significant proportion of high-risk breast cancer families. LÄS MER

3. 17. Predicting Prognosis and Tamoxifen Response in Breast Cancer. With a special focus on contralateral breast cancer

   Författare :Sara Alkner; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; prognosis; treatment prediction; endocrine treatment; tamoxifen; coactivator; AIB1; PAX2; SRC; contralateral breast cancer; premenopausal; randomized trial; mode of detection; mammography.;

   Sammanfattning : One of the great challenges in breast cancer treatment today is to customize adjuvant treatment to each patient’s individual needs. To do this it is necessary to learn more about the prognostic and treatment predictive factors that determine the risk of relapse and response to a certain mode of treatment. LÄS MER

4. 18. Patient-derived scaffolds as a 3D model for breast cancer

   Författare :Anna Gustafsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; patient-derived scaffolds; cancer microenvironment; 3D model; cancer stem cells; drug testing;

   Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common cancer form in women worldwide. Many patients will have recurrent disease and more efficient targeted therapies are needed. The tumor microenvironment is a heterogenous complex mix of cells and components influencing critical cancer processes including progression, signaling and invasion. LÄS MER

5. 19. Someone has to tell them : exploring hereditary cancer risk disclosure in Sweden

   Författare :Carolina Hawranek; Anna Rosén; Senada Hajdarevic; Beatrice S. Melin; Barbro Numan Hellquist; Maria Katapodi; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; hereditary cancer; prevention; family disclosure; family communication; cancer worry; risk information; at-risk relatives; cascade testing; genetic counselling; public opinion; Oncology; onkologi; Genetics; genetik;

   Sammanfattning : Summary in EnglishBackground: An awareness of hereditary susceptibility for breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer in high-risk families enables targeted cancer prevention. A discovered hereditary risk in one family member (proband) may thus be important for several members of that family. LÄS MER

7. 20. Estrogen receptor alpha and beta in breast cancer - gene expression profiles and clinical implications

   Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women in the Western world with about 10% of women developing breast cancer during their lifetime, of which one third will eventually succumb to the metastatic form of the disease. Breast cancer arises from the epithelial cells of the breast mammary gland, but the mechanisms involved in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis are still not fully understood. LÄS MER
