  2. 16. Pancreatic Endocrine Tumors and GIST - Clinical Markers, Epidemiology and Treatment

    Author : Sara Ekeblad; Britt Skogseid; Peter Stålberg; Barbro Eriksson; Rajesh Thakker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; Pancreatic endocrine tumor; Gastrointestinal stromal tumor; Neuroendocrine; Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1; Prognostic factors; Temozolomide; TNM staging; O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase; Growth hormone secretagogue receptor; Ghrelin; Medicin;

    Abstract : Pancreatic endocrine tumors and gastrointestinal stromal tumors are rare. Evidence regarding prognostic factors, and in the former also treatment, is scarce. We evaluated the survival and prognostic factors in a consecutive series of 324 patients with pancreatic endocrine tumors treated at a single institution. READ MORE

  4. 17. Tumor microenvironment derived biomarkers in renal cell cancer

    Author : Magnus Frödin-Bolling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the 13th most common malignancy worldwide, and constitutes around 2% of all malignant tumors. The entity renal cell carcinoma comprises a heterogenous group of malignant tumors that originates from the epithelial cells in the renal proximal tubule. READ MORE

  5. 18. Static and flow cytometry for tumor DNA analysis

    Author : Olle Stål; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The analysis of cellular DNA content in human tumors has shown to be of prognostic importance. The techniques used involve measurements in slide preparations by absorption cytophotometry and static cytofluorometry as well as the analysis of cell suspensions by flow cytometry. READ MORE

  6. 19. Prognostic factors in soft tissue sarcoma. Tissue microarray for immunostaining, the importance of whole-tumor sections and time-dependence

    Author : Jacob Engellau; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth pattern; time-dependence; P-glycoprotein Pgp ; CD44; β-catenin; cyclin A; bcl-2; p53; Ki-67; immunohistochemistry IHC ; whole-tumor sections; tissue microarray TMA ; Soft tissue sarcoma; prognostic factors; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Abstract : In adult soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the extremities and trunk wall, improved prognostic factors are needed to identify patients at high-risk for metastasis. Various factors are included in the many prognostic systems currently in use and the prognostic value of immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of biological markers is unclear. READ MORE

  7. 20. Development of new approaches for tumor suppressor genes identification

    Author : Jinfeng Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Tumor suppressor gene TSG ; Cloning of deleted sequences CODE ; Cloning of polymorphisms COP ; Cloning of identical sequences CIS ; Gene inactivation test GIT .;

    Abstract : Development of tumor is a complex process involving multiple steps. New technologies for cloning and identifying genes playing critical role in cancer development are necessary. That is why we have focused our research on development of these approaches. READ MORE
