    Författare :Sonia Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cervix; Adenocarcinoma; HPV; Prevalence; Age; PCR; DNA-sequencing; p53; HPV16 - E6 gene - polymorphism;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cervical carcinoma is the third most common malignant disease in women worldwide. The absolute frequency of adenocarcinoma of cervix uteri has increased during the last decade and accounts for about 15-20% of invasive cervical cancers. LÄS MER

  3. 12. New diagnostic and prognostic methods to improve the effectiveness of cervical cancer screening

    Författare :Maria Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HR HPV DNA;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis has made use of real-life clinical practice to provide guidance for secondary prevention of cervical cancer. We combined epidemiological, virological and biostatistical investigations using HPV DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA tests in women who were identified with abnormal findings through the organised cervical cancerscreening programme.

  4. 13. Tissue tumor marker expression in normal cervical tissue and in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, for women who are at high risk of human papilloma virus infection, are smokers, contraceptive users or in fertile age

    Författare :Raghad Samir; Dan Hellberg; Anna Asplund; Pär Sparen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tumor markers; cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; smoking; contraceptive use; sex steroid hormones; HPV infection; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this research was to study the correlation between tissue tumor marker expression and HR-HPV infection, smoking, hormonal contraceptive use and sex steroids in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or normal epithelium. The study investigated the expression of 11 tumor markers in cervical biopsies obtained from 228 women with different diagnoses ranging from normal cervical epithelium to various stages of CIN.
