1. Pathogenetic Mechanisms in Soft Tissue Tumors
Abstract : Soft tissue tumors (STT) constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors that arise in tissues of mesenchymal origin. They are currently classified according to morphology and resemblance to normal tissue into over 100 subtypes. READ MORE

2. Genetic Profiling in Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Abstract : Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of highly malignant mesenchymal tumors that account for ~1% of all malignancies. Frequent heterogeneity and pleomorphism along with suboptimal diagnostic reproducibility and insufficient prognostic markers make clinical management of these tumors difficult. READ MORE

3. Imaging of soft tissue tumors
Abstract : The aim of this project on soft tissue tumors, was to evaluate existing imaging methods and test new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences for diagnosis and assessment of cytotoxic therapy and to relate the imaging studies to cytology to explore the limitations of each procedure. Patients and method: The studies were based on patients with a soft tissue lesion diagnosed and treated at the Orthopedic Tumor Service at the Karolinska Hospital 1990-2003. READ MORE

4. Soft Tissue Sarcoma Patterns multiplicity, heterogeneity and growth characteristics
Abstract : Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) represent a group of rare and heterogenous tumors that optimally should be diagnosed and treated within multidisciplinary teams. This thesis has studied various aspects ? pathological, genetical, and clinical ? of STS. READ MORE

5. Markers for clinical outcome and therapy response in soft tissue sarcomas
Abstract : Soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs) constitute a heterogeneous group of rare but aggressive tumors that originate from mesenchymal cells in almost any part of the body. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), located in the gastrointestinal tract, is the most common type of STS. READ MORE
