   Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common cancer form among women in the Western world. Although treatment has improved during the last decades, there is still a significant proportion of the patients who are not cured. LÄS MER

7. 5. Characterization of genetic alterations in ovarian cancer associated with chemotherapy response

   Författare :Lovisa Österberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Oncology; ovarian cancer; chemotherapy resistance; predictive markers;

   Sammanfattning : Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of all gynecological malignancies, and exhibit an overall fiveyear survival rate of only 48% in Sweden. The high mortality in ovarian cancer is largely due to late diagnosis and chemotherapy resistance. LÄS MER
