1. Extratumoral effects of highly aggressive prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer in Sweden. Most patients have slow growing tumors that will not cause them any harm within their lifetime, but some have aggressive tumors and will die from their disease. LÄS MER
2. The breast cancer microenvironment and cancer cell secretion - specific effects on cancer progression and subtypes of cancer cells
Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the cancer form responsible for the most cancer-related deaths among women worldwide, and novel targeted therapies are highly needed. The tumor microenvironment consists of several components, including different cell types, extracellular matrix, oxygen and nutrient gradients and soluble factors that plays a key role in cancer progression.

3. The regulatory role of osteoblasts in castration-resistant growth of prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Bone metastasis of a predominantly osteoblastic (sclerotic) nature is the outcome for the vast majority of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Pathologically, osteoblastic tumors are characterized by excessive bone formation resulting in decreased quality of life due to severe pain, fractures, nerve compression, and a suppressed immune system.
