  2. 21. Exploring the role of p73-isoforms during tumor development

    Author : Habib Abdullah Mohammad Sakil; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The p73 gene was first discovered in 1997 as a family member of p53, and since then this gene has been studied extensively in cancer biology. Among its two main classes of isoforms, TAp73 acts as a tumor suppressor, while in contrast ΔNp73 was shown to act in a dominant negative fashion as an oncogene which opposes the functions of TAp73 and p53.

  4. 22. Prognosis based classification and tumor biology of uterine sarcomas

    Author : Elin Hardell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Uterine stromal sarcomas are a heterogenous group of tumors ranging from low-grade stromal sarcomas with a relatively good survival but high risk of recurrence, to undifferentiated uterine sarcomas with a far worse prognosis. Little is known about their biology, and prognostic markers are lacking. READ MORE

  5. 23. Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) of breast cancer - Methodology and immunological responce

    Author : Kristin Huld-Haraldsdottir; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; Laser thermotherapy; Minimally invasive treatment; Tumour immunology; Thermal treatment; Tumour size; Magnetic resonance imaging;

    Abstract : Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) is an attractive form of local therapy against cancer because of its anti-tumor immune activity. The aim of this work was to evaluate ILT in breast cancer with respect to technique, changes in tissue immunocompetent cells and effect on prognosis. READ MORE

  6. 24. A Novel Approach for Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery Treatment Planning Accounting for High-Grade Glioma Invasiveness into Normal Tissue

    Author : Wille Häger; Iuliana Toma-Daşu; Marta Lazzeroni; Jesper Kallehauge; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tumor modeling; medical physics; model; simulation; glioblastoma; gbm; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Abstract : High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are a type of malignant brain cancer, which include glioblastomas (GBMs). In adults, GBM is the most common malignant primary brain cancer. Attempts to treat patients with GBMs have been conducted for over a century, but the prognosis has only marginally improved. READ MORE

  7. 25. Targeting stromal components in the tumor microenvironment for cancer therapy

    Author : Jieyu Wu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the tumor microenvironment (TME), different cell components crosstalk with each other through various growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and enzymes. They offered crucial survival signals for tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. READ MORE
