  1. 1. Estrogen receptor alpha and beta in breast cancer - gene expression profiles and clinical implications

    Författare :Sofia Gruvberger; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk biologi; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer; Cytology; artificial neural networks; gene expression profiling; microarray; tamoxifen; adjuvant endocrine therapy; ER; estrogen receptor beta; Breast cancer; estrogen receptor alpha; Clinical biology;

    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women in the Western world with about 10% of women developing breast cancer during their lifetime, of which one third will eventually succumb to the metastatic form of the disease. Breast cancer arises from the epithelial cells of the breast mammary gland, but the mechanisms involved in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis are still not fully understood. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Clinical aspects of molecular profiles in metastatic malignant melanoma

    Författare :Henrik Ekedahl; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Melanom; Prognos; BRAF; TERT; Genuttryck; Next generation sequencing; Melanoma; Prognosis; BRAF; TERT; Gene Expression; Next generation sequencing;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant melanoma is a heterogeneous, malignant neoplastic disease, most often originating in the skin. Melanoma is characterized by a high mutational load and has a vastly variable prognosis, depending on disease stage. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Bioinformatic studies of genetic variation at known, novel and candidate blood group loci

    Författare :Magnus Jöud; Avdelningen för hematologi och transfusionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bioinformatics; blood groups; glycosyltransferases; transfusion medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Access to compatible blood for transfusion is a prerequisite for modern health care. The compatibility is limited by the presence of antibodies to blood group antigens, polymorphic protein and carbohydrate structures, on the surface of the red blood cell. Blood group antigens arise from genetic variation in the genes underlying their expression. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Targeted radiotherapy in metastatic neuroendocrine tumours: clinical and experimental studies

    Författare :Anna-Karin Elf; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuroendocrine tumour; peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; somatostatin receptor 2 expression; radiosensitization; radioembolization; diffusion weighted imaging;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) often present at a metastatic stage, which diminishes the possibility for curative surgery. Peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE targets somatostatin receptors, which are overexpressed on NET cells. PRRT results in symptom relief and often tumour control of NETs, but rarely cure. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Genomic profiling of breast cancer by microarray-based technology and bioinformatics

    Författare :Johan Staaf; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Survival; Prognostic predictor; Gene Expression; ERBB2; HER2; Microarray; Copy Number Analysis; CGH; aCGH; Amplification; Gene expression analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer is a genetic disease that arises when a cell acquires unlimited growth potential through a series of mutational events, which target genes essential for normal cell control and maintenance. Breast cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies in women worldwide, and it is characterized by heterogeneous tumor biology, histological subtypes, variable prognosis and variable responsiveness to treatment.
