21. Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours - Disease models, tumour development, and remedy
Sammanfattning : Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SINETs) are malignant neoplasms which at the time of diagnosis often present with distant metastasis. The field of SINET research faces several challenges. LÄS MER
22. Theoretical modelling of tumour oxygenation and influences on treatment outcome
Sammanfattning : One of the main problems in curing cancer resides in the different microenvironment existing in tumours compared to the normal tissues. The mechanisms of failure are different for radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but they all relate to the poor blood supply known to exist in tumours. LÄS MER
23. Cancer and Therapy: A look into stemness and the tumour microenvironment
Sammanfattning : Therapy is the often-used treatment for cancer patients, even those that undergo resection surgery. While milestones have been surpassed throughout the decades for a number of cancer types, there are those that comprise of characteristics limiting effectiveness of treatments. LÄS MER
24. Cytotoxic Cyclotides : Structure, Activity, and Mode of Action
Sammanfattning : Cyclotides are small cyclic plant proteins, and this thesis addresses their cytotoxic structure-activity properties and their mode of action on human cancer cell lines. Cyclotides were isolated from Viola odorata and Viola tricolor; three novel cyclotide sequences and two known sequences, but of new origin, were identified using mass spectrometry, amino acid analysis, and Edman degradation.

25. Language ability in patients with low-grade glioma - detecting signs of subtle dysfunction
Sammanfattning : Background: Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a slow-growing brain tumour often situated in or near areas involved in language and/or cognitive functions. Consequently, there is a risk that patients develop language impairments due to tumour growth or surgical resection. LÄS MER
