    Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignancy of the human kidney, occurring most commonly during the seventh and eighth decades of life. The incidence is high in the Nordic countries and the five year survival is 40-50%. Smoking is a risk factor inferring a minor increase in risk. The best established risk factor is obesity.

  4. 2. Tracking functional changes in the cancer genome : a molecular genetic analysis of renal and prostatic carcinomas using PCR based techniques by a candidate chromosome and candidate gene approach

    Author : Chunde Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Renal cell carcinoma; Prostatic Carcinoma; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignancy occurring in the adult kidney. Prostatic carcinoma is the most common male malignancy in most Western countries. Several environmental factors have been suggested to contributed to the tumor genesis but the involvement of genetic factors is also recognized. READ MORE

  5. 3. Approaches for the localization and identification of human cancer genes

    Keywords : CGH; FISH; SKY; karyotyping; SNP array; expression array; VHL-associated pheochromocytomas; hemangioblastomas; familial renal cell carcinoma; constitutional translocation; sporadic follicular thyroid tumors; chromosomal alterations; fusion oncogene; FTCF-PPAR gamma l; PAX8-PPAR gamma l.;

    Abstract : Chromosomal aberrations have been recognized as important observations that underpin the concept of a mutator phenotype in cancer. In this thesis, two basic strategies were applied to map the location of cancer-related genes in several types of cancers. READ MORE
