  2. 1. Prostate cancer and neuroendocrine differentiation. Molecular aspects in prostate cancer development

    Author : Nastaran Monsef; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; neuron specific enolase; neuroendocrine differentiation; serotonin; hypoxia; cancer stem cell; synaptophysin; Gleason score; chromogranin A; Gleason grade;

    Abstract : Hormone refractory prostate cancer occurs when androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) fails to stop the growth of prostate cancer for any longer. Recent studies point towards a role for neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation in the development of hormone refractory disease. READ MORE

  4. 2. Natural history and prognostic factors in localized prostate cancer

    Author : Ove Andrén; Jan-Erik Johansson; Ola Bratt; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate Cancer; Natural History; Ki-67; Survival; Prognostic factor; Tumor grade; TUR-P; Incidental; Tumor volume; MUC-1; AMACR; Urology and andrology; Urologi och andrologi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery esp. Urology Specific; Kirurgi; särskilt urologi;

    Abstract : The natural history of localized prostate cancer is not fully understood. In most patients the tumor will never progress to a lethal disease, while a subset of patients will ultimately die of the disease. READ MORE

  5. 3. Image analysis of prostate cancer tissue biomarkers

    Author : Giuseppe Lippolis; Malmö Urologisk cancerforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; image analysis; Time Resolved Fluorescence; automated Gleason; PSA; AR; fusion gene; TMAs;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. In order to improve diagnosis and prognosis, new sensitive and specific biomarkers are needed. Tissue biomarkers carry expression and morphological information of the tissue where they are expressed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Applications of Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis : Grading of Prostate Cancer and Detection of Coronary Artery Disease

    Author : Ida Arvidsson; Mathematical Imaging Group; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Medical Image Analysis; Deep Learning; Convolutional Neural Networks; Prostate Cancer; Gleason Grading; Coronary Artery Disease; Myocardial Perfusion Imaging;

    Abstract : A wide range of medical examinations are using analysis of images from different types of equipment. Using artificial intelligence, the assessments could be done automatically. READ MORE

  7. 5. Protein expression in prostate cancer

    Author : Helena Lexander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; protein expression; biomarker; Gleason grade; DNA-ploidy;

    Abstract : The molecular pathology of prostate cancer (PCa) is complex and the pathways and the acquired molecular defects responsible for PCa initiation, development and progression are still largely unknown. Tumors of the prostate have an unpredictable behavior and in clinically detected cancers it is presently not possible to assess tumor aggressiveness. READ MORE
