2. 1. Prognostic and Treatment Predictive Markers Associated with Cyclin D1 Gene Amplification and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer

   Author : Katja Lundgren; Malmö Patologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; beta-arrestin1; Chk1; Breast Cancer; Tamoxifen; prognostic marker; predictive marker; gene amplification; cyclin D1; EMT; Snail; hypoxia;

   Abstract : Endocrine resistant breast cancer is a major therapeutical challenge and accurate selection of patients susceptible to certain types of anti-hormonal treatment strategies is pivotal. Discovery of novel biomarkers potentially predicting treatment response as well as the clinical course of breast cancer is essential to effectively improve therapies and diagnosis. READ MORE

4. 2. Intratumoral Predictive Markers in Metastatic Renal Cancer Patients

   Author : Marjut Niinivirta; Gustav Ullenhag; Gunilla Enblad; Sten Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Renal cell cancer; predictive marker; tyrosine kinase inhibitor; tissue microarray; cubilin; annexin A1; PKLR; ELTD1; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Abstract : There is no established predictive marker for the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) patients. With a predictive marker, patients unlikely to respond could be selected upfront and offered other therapy options. Thereby, unnecessary toxicity could be avoided and costs would be reduced.

5. 3. Predictive markers for tamoxifen response in primary breast cancer

   Author : Maria Stendahl; Malmö Patologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; General pathology; Cytologi; onkologi; prognosis; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; predictive marker; p27; cyclin D1; tamoxifen; PR; breast cancer; ER; pathological anatomy; Patologi allmän ; patologisk anatomi;

   Abstract : It is well-known that a majority of breast cancers are hormone-dependent, making endocrine therapy an important adjuvant treatment after surgery. Susceptibility to endocrine treatment is determined by the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in the tumors. READ MORE

6. 4. PREDICTIVE AND PROGNOSTIC MARKERS IN SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF THE HEAD AND NECK

   Author : Eva Henriksson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CCND1; cyclin D1; head and neck cancer; cisplatin; TP53; cell proliferation parameters; squamous cell carcinoma; predictive marker;

   Abstract : Survival of patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer(HNSCC)is poor, with an overall survival < 50%, despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances. The identification of prognostic and predictive markers could help optimizing treatment. READ MORE

7. 5. The Prognostic and Treatment Predictive Value of Proliferation and TIMP-1 in Breast Cancer
