16. Clinical potential of the mTOR effectors S6K1, S6K2 and 4EBP1 in breast cancer
Sammanfattning : The prognosis of patients diagnosed with breast cancer has been considerably improved in the latest 25 years, as a result of continuous development of diagnostics and treatment regimens. Though, tumour diseases, for woman mainly lung cancer and breast cancer, still constitute of the most common causes of death in developed countries, following heart diseases. LÄS MER
17. Targeting the role of statins in breast cancer – through translationally edged clinical trials
Sammanfattning : AbstractBreast cancer incidence is increasing, and despite major progress in the treatment, breast cancer is still the leading cause of death from cancer among women. Thus, there is a constant need for new treatment options. LÄS MER
18. Alterations in the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway and Response to Adjuvant Treatment in Breast Cancer
Sammanfattning : (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway could be a cause of therapeutic resistance in breast cancer. The PI3K/AKT pathway controls cell proliferation, cell growth and survival, and its members include oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Alterations in this pathway are frequent in cancer. LÄS MER
19. Erythropoietin receptor in growth control and anti-estrogen resistance of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer
Sammanfattning : The main function of Erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor (EPOR) is the stimulation of erythropoiesis. Therefore, recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) is used to treat anemia in cancer patients, but some studies have reported that rhEPO treatment might promote tumor progression. Additionally, EPOR expression has been detected in various cancer forms. LÄS MER
20. Phosphorylation of ERα and HIF-1α in breast cancer with focus on tamoxifen response and links to kinase activation
Sammanfattning : Anti-oestrogens are commonly used in adjuvant breast cancer treatment and for a long time tamoxifen has been the main endocrine treatment. Patients who are eligibly for endocrine treatment are selected by the tumour-specific expression of oestrogen receptor (ER) and approximately 70 % of all breast cancer patients are classified as ER positive.
