1. 21. On the genetics of hereditary breast/ovarian cancer. BRCA1, BRCA2 and beyond

   Författare :Annika Bergman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; BRCA1; BRCA2; breast cancer; hereditary cancer; founder mutation; mutation analysis; linkage analysis; genome scan; BRCAX;

   Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Most of the breast cancers are sporadic with no apparent inheritance factor but about 5-10% is believed to be caused by an inherited predisposition. Aims: This thesis aimed at defining the BRCA1/2 mutation spectrum of the west Swedish population and specifically to characterize the BRCA1c. LÄS MER

3. 22. Prediction of survival in prostate cancer : aspects on localised, locally advanced and metastatic disease

   Sammanfattning : Background and aims: The clinical course of prostate cancer is highly variable and difficult to predict.Stage at presentation, grade and PSA at diagnosis are traditionally used to predict outcome. The aimof this thesis was to identify strategies for improved survival prediction in men with prostate cancer. LÄS MER

4. 23. Diagnosing colorectal cancer in primary care : the value of symptoms, faecal immunochemical tests, faecal calprotectin and anaemia

   Författare :Cecilia Högberg; Mikael Lilja; Jörgen Månsson; Umeå universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in men and the second most common in women worldwide. Adenomas can be precursors to CRC, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can present with the same symptoms as CRC. The majority of patients with CRC initially consult primary care. LÄS MER

5. 24. Aspects in mammographic screening : Detection, prediction, recurrence and prognosis

   Författare :Mercidyl Gelig Thurfjell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Breast neoplasms; recurrence; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; diagnostisk radiologi; Diagnostic Radiology;

   Sammanfattning : Screening mammograms comprising of 32 first round, 10 interval and 32 second round detected cancers and 46 normal were examined by an expert screener, a screening radiologist, a clinical radiologist and a computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) system. The expert screener, screening radiologist, clinical radiologist and the CAD detected 44, 41, 34 and 37 cancers, respectively, while their respective specificities were 80%, 83%, 100% and 22%.

7. 25. Improving the diagnostic armamentarium of lung cancer

   Författare :Hedvig Elfving; Patrick Micke; Fredrik Pontén; Marika Nestor; Reinhard Büttner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lung cancer; tissue microarray; immunohistochemistry; targeted therapy; immunotherapy; checkpoint inhibitors; immune microenvironment; prognosis; biomarkers; immune cells.;

   Sammanfattning : Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death globally, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constituting 85% of cases. The introduction of immunotherapies and targeted therapies have dramatically improved the prognosis and outcome for a subset of patients, and stressed the development of diagnostic tools for effective patient selection.
