1. Tertiary lymphoid structures in glioblastoma : Discovery, Characterization and Therapeutic Induction
Sammanfattning : Glioblastoma (GBM) is an incurable brain cancer with a median survival of less than two years from diagnosis. The tumor microenvironment plays a major role in GBM progression through sustaining immunosuppression and poor lymphocytic infiltration. LÄS MER
2. Antibody-based immunotherapy of cancer : From optimization to novel approaches
Sammanfattning : Antibody immunotherapy is a successful therapeutic approach to treat cancer. The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate the mechanisms of antibody-based immunotherapies and the role of the tumor microenvironment in mediating the anti-tumor immune response, in order to aid the development of improved immunotherapies for cancer patients. LÄS MER
3. Molecular characterization of the immune microenvironment in melanoma
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. Studies of molecular features and novel prognostic biomarkers of cutaneous melanoma
Sammanfattning : Cutaneous malignant melanoma is a highly heterogeneous disease. Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of stage IV disease and is now successfully administered as adjuvant treatment in stage III and soon in stage II. Correct identification of the patients at high risk for progressive disease who will benefit from the treatment is crucial. LÄS MER
5. Vascular targeting for enhanced cancer immunotherapy
Sammanfattning : Induced angiogenesis and chronic inflammation are major components of tumor immunosuppression. The scope of this thesis is to understand the role of the vasculature in anti-tumor immunity and thereby to improve cancer immunotherapy. LÄS MER
