1. 1. Targeting the prostate tumor microenvironment and vasculature : the role of castration, tumor-associated macrophages and pigment epithelium-derived factor

   Författare :Sofia Halin; Anders Bergh; Pernilla Wikström; Stina Rudolfsson; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; angiogenesis; castration therapy; microenvironment; stroma; tumor-associated macrophages; pigment epithelium-derived factor; PEDF; vasculature; Pathology; Patologi; patologi; Pathology;

   Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Swedish men. For patients with metastatic prostate cancer the standard therapy is castration, a treatment that initially provides symptomatic relief but unfortunately is not curative. New therapeutic targets for advanced prostate cancer are therefore needed. LÄS MER

3. 2. Tumor instructed normal tissue : studies of potential extratumoral biomarkers and therapeutic targets in prostate cancer

   Författare :Maria Nilsson; Sofia Halin Bergström; Anders Bergh; Kristian Pietras; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; biomarkers; tumor-instructed normal tissue; extra cellular matrix; macrophages; LOX; HO-1; MSMB; Pathology; patologi;

   Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Sweden and but luckily the majority of the patients will carry on their life without any consequences from the disease. Unfortunately, some will develop aggressive tumors and eventually die. LÄS MER

4. 3. Studies of the tumor microenvironment : Local and systemic effects exerted by the cross-talk between tumor and stroma cells in pancreatic cancer

   Författare :Vegard Tjomsland; Marie Larsson; Arne Östman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Pancreatic cancer; cancer associated fibroblasts; dendritic cells; IL-1alpha; tumor microenvironment; inflammation; bukspottkörtelcancer; Bukspyttkjertel kreft; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers and despite all research efforts the last 50 years, there are still no effective therapy for this terrible disease. Until quite recently most research in the field of pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma (PDAC) was focused on the tumor cells and mechanisms essential for their proliferation and survival. LÄS MER

5. 4. The impact of Wnt5a signaling and tumor associated macrophages in breast cancer

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; Wnt5a; E-cadherin; B-catenin; migration; invasion; turnor associated macrophages; CD163; CD68; turnor stroma;

   Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide with approximately 1.150.000 new cases each year and accounting for over 400.000 deaths per year. LÄS MER

7. 5. Exploring mechanisms regulating the heterogeneity of tumor-associated macrophages

   Författare :Majken Wallerius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Accumulation of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment is associated to poor prognoses in most human cancers. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) represent a heterogeneous and plastic population of cells that contribute to tumor growth, metastatic dissemination, angiogenesis, and immune suppression. LÄS MER
