21. Prostate Cancer Diagnosis : experimental and Clinical Studies With HRMAS NMR Spectroscopy
Sammanfattning : A few abnormal cells found in a small piece of prostate tissue are most consequential for a man’s future. The prevalence of prostate cancer (PCa) is increasing globally. LÄS MER
22. How to model temporal changes in epidemiological data : Treatment trajectories in men with prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Owing to the improvements in detection, diagnostics, and treatment, many men currently diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) have a low risk of PCa death. For many men PCa has become a chronic disease with a small risk of progression that remains even decades after date of diag-nosis. LÄS MER
23. Molecular heterogeneity of prostate cancer bone metastasis
Sammanfattning : Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) develops after androgen deprivation therapy of advanced PC, often with metastatic growth in bone. Patients with metastatic CRPC have very poor prognosis. Growth of CRPC, in most but not all patients, seems to involve androgen receptor (AR) activity, despite castrate levels of serum testosterone.

24. Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Screening Tool for Prostate Cancer
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the role of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate as an adjunct to the prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-test in screening for prostate cancer (PCa), focusing on the performance of MRI in detecting clinically significant PCa within the randomised controlled GÖTEBORG Prostate Cancer Screening 2 Trial. By inviting men 50–60 years of age to different screening strategies—PSA cut-off for biopsy 3. LÄS MER
25. Identification of miRNA expression profiles for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Cancer of the prostate (CaP) is the most common malignancy diagnosed in men in the Western society. During the last years, prostate specific antigen (PSA) has been used as a biomarker for CaP, although a high PSA value is not specific for CaP. Thus, there is an urgent need for new and improved diagnostic markers for CaP. LÄS MER
