1. Tumour Targeting Using Radiolabelled EGF Conjugates : Preclinical Studies
Sammanfattning : Tumour targeted radiotherapy is an appealing approach for treatment of disseminated tumour cells. A targeting agent that specifically binds to a structure on tumour cells is then used to transport therapeutically relevant radionuclides. The epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR, is overexpressed on tumour cells in several malignancies, e.g. LÄS MER
2. Studies on the effect of ErbB tyrosine kinase inhibitors on malignant melanoma growth and survival in vitro
Sammanfattning : Malignant melanoma has one of the fastest increasing incidences among the different types of cancerin the Western world. This raise can partly be ascribed to the change in sun habits that has takenplace during the last decades, since the major external risk factor for melanoma is exposure toultraviolet radiation. LÄS MER
3. Experimental studies on ErbB targeted therapy in malignant melanoma
Sammanfattning : Malignant melanoma has one of the fastest increasing incidences among the different types of cancer in the Western world. This raise can partly be ascribed to the change in sun habits that has taken place during the last decades, since the major external risk factor for melanoma is exposure to ultraviolet radiation. LÄS MER
4. Experimental combination therapy of brain cancer cell models
Sammanfattning : Epigenetic alterations and aberrant expression of genes controlling epigenetic mechanisms have been identified in several cancers, including medulloblastoma and glioma, the most common primary brain tumors in children and adults, respectively. We have been investigating if combination therapy using histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) and receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKi) will enhance glioblastoma and medulloblastoma cell killing. LÄS MER
5. Two novel combination therapies of glioblastoma multiforme from a Cx43 perspective : studies of in vitro models
Sammanfattning : The group of patients suffering from the malignant brain tumour glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) have a median survival of only about one year. Thus, new treatment strategies are urgently needed. Gap junctions are intercellular channels, permitting intercellular transfer of water soluble substances. LÄS MER
