  1. 1. Malignant glioma : experimental studies with an estrogen-linked cytostatic

    Författare :Eva von Schoultz; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; malignant glioma; meningioma; glioma cells; sex steroids; estramustine; nor-nitrogen mustard; estramustine- binding protein; DNA damage; cell membrane;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. Patients with these highly malignant tumors have an extremely poor prognosis. The situation with a highly proliferative tumor in a non-proliferating tissue should favor cytostatic treatment but so far the role of conventional chemotherapy has been adjunctive. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Experimental therapies of malignant glioma : with emphasis on angiogenesis inhibition

    Författare :Maria Sandström; Roger Henriksson; Mikael Johansson; Anja Smits; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glioma; angiogenesis; VEGF; tyrosinekinaseinhibitor; ZD6474; plasminogenactivator; tPA; uPA; proteomics; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant glioma consists of a group of diseases where the localisation and the nature of the disease makes treatment an extreme challenge. Two important biological features of malignant glioma cells are their infiltrative growth and their ability to induce angiogenesis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Risk and prognostic factors for malignant glioma

    Sammanfattning : Background: Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of glioma and associated with poor prognosis. Apart from ionizing radiation and some rare genetic disorders, few aetiological factors have been identified for primary brain tumours. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The most common malignant brain tumor in adults is a glioma called glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). About 300 persons are diagnosed with GBM every year in Sweden. Unfortunately, it is also the most aggressive brain tumor and as of today, it is not possible to cure it. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Challenges in the treatment of malignant glioma with oncolytic adenovirus

    Författare :Johan Rebetz; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glioma; Adenovirus; Fiber; Cancer stem cells;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant glioma is a tumor that spreads rapidly throughout brain and is almost impossible to remove completely by surgery. It is resistant to chemo- and radiotherapy and the prognosis is very poor. As a result, there is a desperate need for development of novel therapies against this devastating disease. LÄS MER
