1. Quiescent cancer cells : Three-dimensional cell models for evaluation of new therapeutics
Sammanfattning : Inadequate metabolic conditions in solid tumors lead to the formation of quiescent cancer cells that are suspended in a transient cell cycle arrest. When conditions change, quiescent cancer cells can re-enter the cell cycle and cause recurrence. LÄS MER
2. Immunotherapy with the anti-EpCAM monoclonal antibody and cytokines in patients with colorectal cancer : a clinical and experimental study
Sammanfattning : The tumor-associated antigen EpCAM (epithelial cell-adhesion molecule) (C017-1A) is over expressed by various human carcinomas, including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). This antigen can be used as a target structure for specific immunotherapy with vaccines and monoclonal antibodies (MAb). LÄS MER
3. Mismatch repair deficiency in colorectal cancer : prognosis and prediction for basic treatment strategies
Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a significant healthcare problem worldwide, being the third most common cancer and the fourth most frequent cause of cancer death. Environmental and dietary factors such as alcohol abuse, cigarette smoking, and genetic predisposition seem to constitute the main aetiologies. LÄS MER
4. Genetic Analyses of Tumor Progression in Colorectal Cancer
Sammanfattning : Colorectal tumors are responsible for more than 600 000 deaths per year worldwide and thereby constitute the second most common cause of cancer related mortality. Early detection is related to improved prognosis and identification of genetic biomarkers would meliorate available diagnostic tools. LÄS MER
5. Alkaline Sphingomyelinase; A Potential Inhibitor in Colorectal Carcinogenesis
Sammanfattning : Sphingomyelin (SM) is present both in eucaryotic cells and the diet. Sphingomyelinase (SMase) hydrolyses SM and generates ceramide that has been implicated in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. Previously a SMase with alkaline pH optimum was identified in the intestinal tract. LÄS MER
