  2. 1. HPV and potential prognostic markers in primary vaginal carcinoma

    Author : Cecilia Ranhem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this PhD thesis is to evaluate HPV status and immunohistochemical expression of different biomarkers, including tumor suppressor p16, proliferation marker Ki67, molecular markers in the LRIG family, WRAP53ß, and dyskerin as well as immune markers CD4+ and CD8+ TILs, and their correlation to clinical manifestations and survival as part of a search for potential prognostic factors in women diagnosed with primary vaginal cancer. Paper I evaluates the presence of HPV in vaginal cancer tumor samples, as well as immunohistochemical expression of p16 and Ki-67. READ MORE

  4. 2. Vaginal carcinoma : studies on etiology and prognostic factors

    Author : Kristina Hellman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Primary vaginal carcinoma; genesis; etiology; prognosis; lammin-5gamma2 chain; CGH; genomic instability; protein expression; hierarchical cluster analysis;

    Abstract : Primary carcinoma of the vagina (PCV) is a rare disease, with poor survival, mostly affecting elderly women. Due to its rarity the established knowledge originates from studies based on small materials, therefore little is known regarding the genesis, natural history and factors predicting the prognosis.

    Abstract : 3,100 non-pregnant women and 85 pregnants were miniconized during the 15-year period ending 1994 . The outpatient procedure of minimal conization using a freehand-guided, high power 60W carbon dioxide laser focused to 0.1 mm in spot-size, giving high power density 165,000 W/cm2, produces single-piece tissue specimens for histological examination.

  6. 4. Papillomavirus binding and entry : The heparan sulfate receptor and inhibition by lactoferrin

    Author : Peter Drobni; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Papillomaviruses (PVs) infect epithelial cells and are the main causative agent of cervical carcinoma. There are today more than a hundred different PV types and these can be divided into high risk and low risk types. They infect differentiating epithelial cells which make it cumbersome to propagate and produce human papillomavirus (HPV) virions. READ MORE
