1. 1. Aspects of Chemotherapy in Prostate Cancer

   Författare :Åsa Jellvert; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; CRPC; chemotherapy; metronomic; prognostic; predictive; biomarkers;

   Sammanfattning : Since 2004 chemotherapy has been a part of standard of care in prostate cancer (PC) and improved symptom control and survival has been demonstrated in metastatic castration-resistant PC. Whether docetaxel has benefits in earlier stages of PC is currently under investigation. LÄS MER

3. 2. Prognostic and Predictive Factors in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

   Författare :Emerik Österlund; Tobias Sjöblom; Bengt Glimelius; Peter Nygren; Torben Frøstrup Hansen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; metastatic colorectal cancer; RAS mutations; BRAF mutations; biomarkers; outcome;

   Sammanfattning : The outcome for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients has improved substantially in recent decades. This has chiefly been observed in study populations, and predominantly in left-sided primary tumours, which is why we wanted to study if and how survival has improved in the background population.

4. 3. Prognostic and Treatment Predictive Markers Associated with Cyclin D1 Gene Amplification and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer

   Författare :Katja Lundgren; Malmö Patologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; beta-arrestin1; Chk1; Breast Cancer; Tamoxifen; prognostic marker; predictive marker; gene amplification; cyclin D1; EMT; Snail; hypoxia;

   Sammanfattning : Endocrine resistant breast cancer is a major therapeutical challenge and accurate selection of patients susceptible to certain types of anti-hormonal treatment strategies is pivotal. Discovery of novel biomarkers potentially predicting treatment response as well as the clinical course of breast cancer is essential to effectively improve therapies and diagnosis. LÄS MER

5. 4. An integrative strategy for targeted evaluation of biomarker expression in non-small cell lung cancer

   Författare :Johanna Mattsson; Patrick Micke; Johan Botling; Fredrik Pontén; Åslaug Helland; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; non-small cell lung cancer; prognostic biomarkers; predictive biomarkers; immunohistochemistry; gene expression; COX-2; claudin; ALK; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : Despite improvements in therapy, the prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains poor, and cure is only possible in localized tumors after surgical resection. A new generation of targeted cancer drugs has led to the expectation that lung cancer therapy can be significantly improved, but these drugs are today only an option in a small subset of NSCLC patients, and their effect is temporary.

7. 5. Predictive and prognostic factors in cervical carcinomas treated with (chemo-) radiotherapy

   Författare :Louise Bohr Mordhorst; Bengt Sorbe; Preben Kjölhede; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cervical carcinoma; radio-chemotherapy; biomarkers; predictive factors; prognostic factors; multiprotein analysis; Hedgehog pathway; Wnt β-catenin pathway; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : A series of 131 women with cervical carcinoma FIGO stage I-IV were treated with external radiotherapy and intracavitary brachytherapy. In 47 patients (36%) concomitant chemotherapy was given. One hundred and twenty-one tumors (92%) achieved complete remission. Addition of chemotherapy increased primary cure rate to 98%. LÄS MER
