  1. 1. Tumor biological aspects of the mucin-like glycoprotein CD43

    Författare :Sirle Laos; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :CD43; leukosialin; sialophorin; mucin; colon adenoma; proteolytic processing; ; NF-kappaB; p65; chemokine; p53; ARF; Fas; apoptosis; transformation;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer cells overexpress aberrant forms and amounts of mucins, which contribute to tumor development by regulating cell growth, survival, adhesion, invasion and immune responses. CD43, a type I transmembrane protein, is a mucin-like molecule expressed under normal physiological conditions by most hematopoietic cell types. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Biomarkers for colon cancer : applications in human and rat studies

    Författare :Pernilla C. Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Colon cancer biomarkers; faecal water; polyethylene glycol; synbiotics; COX-2 inhibitors;

    Sammanfattning : Colon cancer is one of the major causes of cancer in industrialized countries, and it is caused by a combination of hereditary, environmental and dietary factors and lack of physical activity. Of these factors, diet is one of the most important. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Colon cancer : disease related proteins in tumor tissue and serum

    Författare :Uwe Johannes Roblick; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Despite the progress in surgical techniques and adjuvant therapies the mortality of around 60% within the group of colon cancer patients did not decrease significantly over the last decades. This determines a growing demand for biomarkers for early detection, prognosis and risk assessment in colorectal malignancies. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hereditary colorectal cancer : predisposition and prevention

    Författare :Annelie Liljegren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Hereditary colorectal cancer; colonoscopy; adenoma; hyperplastic polyp;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the clinical results from a ten-year long follow-up surveillance program, including regular colonoscopy, for subjects (n=304, 780 colonoscopies) with increased risk of colorectal cancer, and on psychological aspects of the program. The cohort included persons with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and persons assumed to be at increased risk of colorectal cancer because they had two (Two close relatives, TCR) or three or more relatives (Hereditary colorectal cancer, HCRC) afflicted with colorectal cancer.
