21. Experimental Diagnostics and Therapeutics of Invasive Urinary Bladder Cancer
Sammanfattning : The two purposes of this thesis were to evaluate new diagnostic techniques of lymphnode staging in invasive bladder cancer and to evaluate the results of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in invasive bladder cancer.Sentinel node detection was performed in 13 patients in preparation for radical cystectomy.

22. On lymph node based immunotherapy of cancer
Sammanfattning : Cancer Immunotherapy based on one’s own immune system to fight cancer is emerging as an important treatment option for advanced stage diseases. The earliest attempts of cancer therapy based on the provocation of the immune system with infectious agents can be traced back to the 18th century, and the field of immunotherapy has since developed into three main groups: cellular-, antibody- and cytokine- therapies.

23. Laser Scanning Multiphoton Microscopy – Focusing on Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging for Biomedical Applications
Sammanfattning : Laser scanning multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is considered as a non-invasive technology for three-dimensional imaging of complex biological tissues. The quantitative potential of the MPM is not investigated as much as qualitative imaging. LÄS MER
24. Methodological approaches towards personalised cancer medicine
Sammanfattning : Despite advances in diagnostics and treatments, many cancer patients have poor survival rates. Tumours develop drug resistance followed by metastasis, and survivors suffer from treatment side-effects. LÄS MER
25. T cells in solid tumors : investigating the immunomodulation in the tumor microenvironment
Sammanfattning : The immune system protects human from cancer through an immunosurveillance mechanism. However, the progressive nature of tumor cells to differentiate and the complexity of the tumor microenvironment may result in the immunomodulation of immune cells. LÄS MER
