1. Carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Long-term prognosis and results of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment
Abstract : Aims: To study prognostic factors in bladder cancer in relation to BCG immunotherapy and to evaluate a new method of reducing the side-effects of such treatment.Patients and methods: We identified 121 patients with stage T1 tumours diagnosed with bladder cancer between 1987 and 1988.

2. Urinary Bladder Carcinoma – Studies of Outcome of Current Management and Experimental Therapy
Abstract : The thesis concerns the epidemiology, current and possible future treatment of urothelial cancer of the urinary bladder. The Swedish National Quality Registry for Bladder Cancer 1997-2001 was used to explore epidemiology, current therapies and outcome. More common in men, the incidence for Ta and T1 tumours peaks in the age range 70-79 years. READ MORE

3. Effects of BCG-treatment on urinary bladder cancer with focus on nitric oxide
Abstract : Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin is used as a single agent or adjuvant therapy in the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. In spite being one of the most efficient immunological treatments in cancer, BCG for bladder cancer is afflicted with a number of unsolved problems. READ MORE

4. Formation and role of nitric oxide in host defense reactions in the urinary bladder
Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological mediator and cell signaling molecule. It is also involved in several host defense reactions. NO is formed in vivo from L-arginine by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS). However, it can also be formed non-enzymatically from acidified nitrite. READ MORE

5. Calcium signaling in development and disease
Abstract : The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a highly versatile signaling messenger involved in a diverse range of physiological processes such as gene transcription/expression, proliferation, differentiation and cell death. Intracellular Ca2+ signals are generated through a 10 000 – 20 000 fold gradient across the cell membrane and via release from the external milieu and/or internal Ca2+ stores. READ MORE
