11. The role of PDGFB in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and giant cell fibroblastoma
Sammanfattning : Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) and giant cell fibroblastoma (GCF) are rare invasive tumors of the dermis. GCF is considered the juvenile form of DFSP. Both DFSP and GCF are characterized by the presence of chromosomal aberrations involving chromosomes 17 and 22. LÄS MER
12. Clinical and molecuar studies of papillary thyroid carcinoma : with an emphasis on prognostic factors
Sammanfattning : Thyroid cancer accounts for approximately 1% of all cancers reported. In Sweden 45/100, 000 inhabitants annually present with thyroid carcinoma. There are four different variants of thyroid carcinoma: papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), follicular thyroid carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. LÄS MER
13. Approaches for the localization and identification of human cancer genes
Sammanfattning : Chromosomal aberrations have been recognized as important observations that underpin the concept of a mutator phenotype in cancer. In this thesis, two basic strategies were applied to map the location of cancer-related genes in several types of cancers. LÄS MER
14. Liposarcomas - proliferation, senescence and the role of DDIT3
Sammanfattning : Lipomatous tumors comprise benign and malignant forms called lipomas and liposarcomas. Myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MLS/RCLS) is the second most common liposarcoma and is characterized by the fusion oncogenes FUS-DDIT3 or EWSR1-DDIT3. LÄS MER
15. Exploiting Drosophila as a model system for studying anaplastic lymphoma kinase in vivo
Sammanfattning : Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) and an oncogene associated with several human diseases, but its normal function in humans and other vertebrates is unclear. Drosophila melanogaster has an ALK homolog, demonstrating that the RTK has been conserved throughout evolution. LÄS MER
