    Sammanfattning : Head and neck cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide with an estimated annual global incidence of over 500 000 cases. These malignant tumours develop in the mucosal linings of the upper respiratory tract or in the salivary glands. The most common sites are in the oral cavity and larynx. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Tumour Targeting Using Radiolabelled EGF Conjugates : Preclinical Studies

    Författare :Åsa Liljegren Sundberg; Jörgen Carlsson; Lars Gedda; Vladimir Tolmachev; Erik Blomquist; Gregory P. Adams; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiation sciences; targeting; tumour; EGF; radionuclide; gefitinib; Iressa; ZD1839; glioma; therapy; diagnostics; Strålningsvetenskap; Radiation biology; Strålningsbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Tumour targeted radiotherapy is an appealing approach for treatment of disseminated tumour cells. A targeting agent that specifically binds to a structure on tumour cells is then used to transport therapeutically relevant radionuclides. The epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR, is overexpressed on tumour cells in several malignancies, e.g. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Laparoscopy and tumour growth : a clinical and experimental study

    Författare :Owe Lundberg; Anders Kristoffersson; Dag Arvidsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; laparoscopy; tumour growth; metastases; gallbladder cancer; pneumoperitoneum; blood flow; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Laparoscopic technique was quickly adopted in general surgery because of less pain, quicker recovery and shorter hospital stay. In the 1990´s several reports on port site metastases restrained the enthusiasm to use laparoscopic surgery in malignant diseases. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Microenvironmental Impact on Tumour Cell Phenotype and Genotype in Adult and Paediatric Tumours

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer genotype; cancer phenotype; malignant rhabdoid tumour; neuroblastoma; ovarian cancer; tumour evolution; Wilms tumour;

    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
