1. Stromal collagens in colorectal cancer and in colorectal liver metastases : tumour biological implications and a source for novel tumour markers
Sammanfattning : Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. About 50 % of patients with CRC will develop subsequent liver metastases (CLM). The survival for untreated CLM is only a few months and liver resection provides the only chance for a lasting cure. LÄS MER
2. Microenvironmental Impact on Tumour Cell Phenotype and Genotype in Adult and Paediatric Tumours
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores how the tumour microenvironment affects the phenotype and shapes the evolution of cancer cells. It encompasses four separate studies:First, we explored the effect of chemokines on the peritotumoral microenvironment of ovarian cancer. LÄS MER
3. From a Road Less Travelled to a Worn Path: Three-Dimensional Tumour Models for Cancer Research and Therapeutics
Sammanfattning : Cancer is the second leading cause of death among both men and women worldwide. During therecent years, three-dimensional (3D) tumour models have gained increasing interest as a pre-clinicalplatform for screening of compounds for potential use in cancer therapy. LÄS MER
4. Tumour Biological Factors Characterizing Metastasizing Serotonin-producing Ileocaecal Carcinoids
Sammanfattning : In this study, metastasizing serotonin-producing ileocaecal carcinoid tumours (MSPCs) were examined for biological characteristics that could be used to define clinically relevant subgroups within this patient population. Possible targets for new treatment options were also explored. LÄS MER
5. Carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Long-term prognosis and results of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment
Sammanfattning : Aims: To study prognostic factors in bladder cancer in relation to BCG immunotherapy and to evaluate a new method of reducing the side-effects of such treatment.Patients and methods: We identified 121 patients with stage T1 tumours diagnosed with bladder cancer between 1987 and 1988.
