1. 1. Individually Tailored Toxicity-based Chemotherapy : Studies on Patients with Primary and Metastatic Breast Cancer

   Författare :Henrik Lindman; Jonas Bergh; Carl Blomqvist; Peter Nygren; Bo Nordenskjöld; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; breast cancer; tailored chemotherapy; toxicity-based dosing; high-dose therapy; MR imaging; G-CSF; epirubicin; docetaxel; cyclophosphamide; 5-fluorouracil; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Sammanfattning : Standard dosing of chemotherapy based on body surface area (BSA) results in large individual differences in toxicity due to a large inter-patient variability in pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). This results in under-dosing in certain patients with a potentially weaker antitumoral effect. LÄS MER

3. 2. Studies of side effects related to adjuvant breast cancer regimens with focus on chemotherapy

   Författare :Andri Papakonstantinou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy adjunct to surgery have a critical role in the management of early breast cancer for outcome improvement. Anthracycline containing chemotherapy reduces 10-year incidence of breast cancer mortality by an absolute 6. LÄS MER

4. 3. Aspects of Endocrine Therapy in Primary Breast Cancer. Risk Profiling and Adherence Perspectives for Improving Tailored Adjuvant Treatment

   Författare :Christine Lundgren; LUCC: Lunds universitets cancercentrum; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract: Breast cancers are heterogeneous tumours. Prognostic markers are needed to better profile the patient´s risk, and predictive markers to indicate the expected benefit of systemic treatment. Using gene expression analyses, breast tumours can be divided into intrinsic subtypes. LÄS MER

5. 4. Long term health-related quality of life among women with high-risk breast cancer receiving adjuvant high-dose chemotherapy : a comparison with the normal population

   Författare :Helena Michelson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Adjuvant high-dose chemotherapy; health related quality of life; EORTC QLQC30; reference values; chronic health problems.;

   Sammanfattning : The aims of the thesis were 1) to provide reference values for the EORTC QLQ-C30 in the general Swedish population, 2) to investigate effects of adjuvant high-dose treatment on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among high-risk breast cancer patients during and after treatment and 3) to investigate differences in HRQoL between the patients and women of corresponding age in the general population. The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire was mailed to a sample of 4008 randomly selected individuals in the Swedish population. LÄS MER

7. 5. Roles of Myc and Mad in cell cycle and apoptosis

   Författare :Ami Albihn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Myc; Mad; cell cycle; apoptosis; differentiation; tumorigenesis; chemotherapy;

   Sammanfattning : The Myc network proteins are key mediators in regulation of cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. They are basic region hehx-loop-helix/leucine zipper (bHLH/Zip) transcription factors that require hetero-dimerization with Max for specific DNA binding Mad family members are expressed primarily in differentiated tissues where they recruit histone deacetylase complexes via the mSin3 interaction domain (SID) to repress transcription of target genes and prevent cell growth In contrast, members of the Myc family activate target gene transcription by recruitment of histone acetyltransferases to their transcriptional activation domain (TAD), inducing proliferation and S phase entry.
