  4. 2. DNA repair pathways and the effect of radiotherapy in breast cancer

    Author : Karin Söderlund Leifler; Marie Askmalm Stenmark; Olle Stål; Bo Stenerlöw; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : A large proportion of breast cancer patients are treated with radiotherapy. Ionising radiation induces different DNA damages, of which double-strand breaks are the most severe. They are mainly repaired by homologous recombination or non-homologous end-joining. Different protein complexes have central roles in these repair processes. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Normal human cells are strictly controlled in their environment by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Despite this, some cells begin to develop into cancer cells, and if this process is allowed to continue, it will develop into cancer disease. To become cancerous, a cell must break several biological barriers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Description and prediction of clinical radiosensitivity : emphasis on normal tissue reactions

    Author : Roger Tell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Radiotherapy; radiosensitivity; normal tissue; thyroid; cell cycle; lung injury;

    Abstract : There is a range in the severity of normal tissue reactions observed when cancer patients receive radiotherapy (RT). The limits of dosage in RT have empirically been set by doses that have caused severe reactions in the most sensitive patients. The understanding of factors governing variations of radiosensitivity is therefore very important in RT. READ MORE

  7. 5. p73 in colorectal cancer

    Author : Daniella Pfeifer; Sun Xiao-Feng; Vladimir Bykov; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world, with about 5000 new cases in Sweden every year. CRC is caused by mutation (inherited or acquired) in genes, by gene variants and changed expression of proteins. The primary way to achieve a curative result for CRC is to remove the tumor by surgery. READ MORE
