1. Image analysis of prostate cancer tissue biomarkers
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. In order to improve diagnosis and prognosis, new sensitive and specific biomarkers are needed. Tissue biomarkers carry expression and morphological information of the tissue where they are expressed. LÄS MER
2. Early effects of castration therapy in non-malignant and malignant prostate tissue
Sammanfattning : Early Effects of Castration Therapy in Non-malignant and Malignant Prostate Tissue BACKGROUND. Androgen ablation, the standard treatment for advanced prostate cancer, results in increased apoptosis, decreased cell proliferation and subsequent involution of the prostate gland. LÄS MER
3. Metabolism of free and complexed prostate - specific antigen and their utility for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein produced by the prostate gland. It occurs in several molecular forms in the blood and assays have been developed to measure free PSA and PSA in complex with alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (PSA-ACT). LÄS MER
4. Tissue biomarkers in prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common male cancer in the western world. Better biomarkers are needed to support diagnosis, prediction of prognosis and treatment decision Radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens are routinely immersed in formalin overnight. Formalin may also be injected into the prostate for improved fixation. LÄS MER
5. Real-time PCR and its application for protein quantification
Sammanfattning : The ability to quantify specific DNA sequences with real-time PCR has increased the possibilities for sensitive DNA analysis enormously. This sensitive technique can in optimal conditions detect one DNA copy and has a large quantification range. LÄS MER
