  1. 1. Malignant melanoma of the vulva

    Författare :Boel Ragnarsson Olding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Malignant melanoma; Vulvar melanoma; mucosal melanoma; epidemiology; amelanotic melanoma; pre-existing nevus; N-Ras mutation; TP53 mutation;

    Sammanfattning : From a consecutive, nationwide series of 219 females with primary vulvar malignant melanomas diagnosed in Sweden during 1960 to 1984 and followed up until 1994, we analyzed epidemiological, clinical, histopathological, prognostic and molecular genetic data. The age-standardized incidence among these patients, 75 % of whom were 60 years old or more, decreased by 3. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genetic and epigenetic alterations in melanoma

    Författare :Rainer Tuominen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant melanoma is a disease that may arise in several different parts of the body, preferentially the skin, rarely in the mucosal membranes or the choroidal tissues of the eye. The incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CMM) is steadily increasing in the Caucasian populations, unlike uveal melanoma (UM) that shows a stable incidence. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Molecular studies in different types of melanoma tumors : correlations to clinical data

    Författare :Abdlsattar Zebary; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Approximately 90% of melanomas arise from skin sites (known as cutaneous malignant melanoma; CMM), whereas the non-cutaneous melanoma (mucosal and ocular melanomas) are rare, accounting for about 10%. Familial melanoma accounts for up to 10% of patients diagnosed with CMM. Both genetics (e.g. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Malignant melanoma and other malignancies of the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses in Sweden

    Författare :Mattias Jangard; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Malignancies emerging in the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses are rare and accounts for 5% of all head and neck malignancies and 0.1% of all malignancies in Sweden. The incidence of sinonasal malignancy (SNM), except sinonasal malignant melanoma (SNMM), has been reported to decrease since 1960 in Sweden. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Epidemiological Studies of Small Intestinal Tumours

    Författare :Niklas Zar; Per Hellman; Lars Holmberg; Jonas Rastad; Anders Bergenfelz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Surgery; small intestine; adenocarcinoma; carcinoid; epidemiology; survival; second malignancies; causes of death; Crohn s disease; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant tumours of the small intestine are rare. Age-standardised incidence in Europe is between 0.5-1.5 per 100 000. LÄS MER
