2. 1. Microenvironmental Impact on Tumour Cell Phenotype and Genotype in Adult and Paediatric Tumours

   Author : Hiroaki Yasui; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer genotype; cancer phenotype; malignant rhabdoid tumour; neuroblastoma; ovarian cancer; tumour evolution; Wilms tumour;

   Abstract : This thesis explores how the tumour microenvironment affects the phenotype and shapes the evolution of cancer cells. It encompasses four separate studies:First, we explored the effect of chemokines on the peritotumoral microenvironment of ovarian cancer. READ MORE

4. 2. Tumour microenvironment in serous ovarian cancer

   Author : Sara Corvigno; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common malignancy in women worldwide and the most lethal gynaecological malignancy in developed countries. The epithelial subtype is divided in five main histologic groups, of which the high-grade serous is the most common subtype. READ MORE

5. 3. Ovarian cancer. Biomarkers, surgical outcome and survival

   Author : Pia Leandersson; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epitelial äggstokscancer; biomarkörer; kirurgi; incidens; överlevnad; epithelial ovarian cancer; biomarkers; ovarian cancer surgery; incidence; survival;

   Abstract : Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common female cancer worldwide and the most lethal of the gynaecologic malignancies. Around 700 women are diagnosed in Sweden per year. Due to vague symptoms most of the patients are diagnosed with late-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and prognosis is poor, with a five-year survival of 49%. READ MORE

6. 4. New Prognostic Markers in Stage III Serous Ovarian Adenocarcinomas

   Author : Karolina Partheen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Ovarian cancer; Biomarker; Prognostic factors; Integrin beta 3;

   Abstract : Ovarian carcinoma is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in Swedish women. Patients with advanced-stage disease respond differently to treatment, and the clinical outcome is difficult to predict for an individual patient. READ MORE

7. 5. Three-dimensional ultrasound studies of normal and abnormal ovaries

   Author : Ligita Jokubkiene; gynekologisk och prenatal ultraljudsdiagnostik Obstetrisk; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ovary; ovarian follicle; ovarian neoplasms; ultrasonography; three-dimensional imaging; Doppler ultrasound imaging; vascular morphology;

   Abstract : The aims of this work were: 1) to estimate the number of follicles, ovarian volume and power Doppler vascular indices and their changes with age using three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal grey-scale and power Doppler ultrasound in asymptomatic women of fertile age either with natural menstrual cycles or using combined oral contraceptives, and 2) to determine whether tumour vascularity, assessed by 3D power Doppler ultrasound, can help discriminate between benign and malignant ovarian tumours. A group of 303 gynaecologically asymptomatic women, aged 20–39 years with normal menstrual cycles (NMC) and another group of 213 women aged 20–39 years using combined oral contraceptives (COC) were examined using two-dimensional (2D) and 3D transvaginal ultrasound once between cycle day 4 and 8.
