1. 11. MiRNAs in cancer

   Författare :Masako Harada; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : There are many layers of complexity involving the processes through which somatic cells transform into malignant cancers. Historically, cancer was considered to be a disease primarily caused by gene mutations, however it is now well established that the dysregulated expression of the genes leading to the tumorigenic phenotype involves not only mutations but also epigenetic changes.

3. 12. Mutational analyses of the tumor suppressor gene Patched1 : role in non-melanoma skin cancer and nevoid basal cell carcinoma

   Författare :Erika Lindström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Western countries, with a rapidly increasing incidence. The majority of these tumors are non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The most common NMSC is basal cell carcinoma (BCC) followed by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In the US more than 1. LÄS MER

4. 13. Benefits and risks with digital dermoscopy and teledermoscopy

   Författare :Johan Dahlén Gyllencreutz; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; melanoma; non-melanoma skin cancer; teledermoscopy; dermoscopy; teledermatology; e-health;

   Sammanfattning : The increasing incidence of malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) makes it necessary to optimize the management of patients with suspicious skin lesions, from triaging, to establishing a diagnosis and planning treatment. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the use of teledermoscopy (TDS) as a way of achieving such an optimization, as well as to study safety aspects of digital dermoscopy and teledermoscopy while pointing out risks and pitfalls so that they can be avoided.

5. 14. Cutaneous Human Papillomaviruses

   Författare :Kristina Hazard; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Skin cancer; HPV heterogeneity; Persistence; Human Papillomavirus; Phylogeny; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) exist as more than 100 distinct types. Variants of HPVs appear to be common findings while HPV subtypes have been considered rare. New information about subtypes has recently been reported by us. LÄS MER

7. 15. Photodynamic therapy and laser-based diagnostic studies of malignant tumours

   Författare :Ingrid Wang; Medicinskt lasercentrum; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protoporphyrin IX PpIX ; delta -aminolevulinic acid ALA ; photosensitizer; basal cell carcinoma BCC ; Photodynamic therapy PDT ; laser-induced fluorescence LIF ; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

   Sammanfattning : Two non-thermal regimens of light interaction with biological tissue, that are in a natural way connected, are discussed in the present thesis. These are photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of malignant tumours and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for tissue characterization. LÄS MER
