  2. 1. Micromachined Microwave Sensors for Non-Invasive Skin Cancer Diagnostics

    Author : Fritzi Töpfer; Joachim Oberhammer; Lennart Emtestam; Milica Popovic; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microwave probe; microwave sensor; skin cancer diagnostics; malignant melanoma; microwave reflectometry; non-invasive diagnostics; micromachining; dielectric-rod waveguide; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma is one of the cancers with the highest incident rates. It is also the most dangerous skin cancer type and an early diagnosis is crucial for the successful treatment of malignant melanoma patients. READ MORE

  4. 2. Photodynamic therapy in the head and neck

    Author : Mathias von Beckerath; Claes Möller; Göran Laurell; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Photo Dynamic Therapy; Cancer; Skin; Larynx; 5-ALA; UVradiation; sarcoma; squamous cell carcinoma; porfimer sodium; temoporfin; voice; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Photodynamic therapy, PDT, is a method to diagnose and treat cancer. In PDT a sensitizer is administered to the patient and this sensitizer is accumulated in tumors. If the sensitizer-containing tumor is subjected to a laser of a specific wavelength the tumor is fluorescing allowing diagnostics. READ MORE

  5. 3. DNA Damage Response of Normal Epidermis in the Clinical Setting of Fractionated Radiotherapy : Evidence of a preserved low-dose hypersensitivity response

    Author : Fredrik Qvarnström; Ingela Turesson; Gunilla Enblad; Mats Harms-Ringdahl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DNA damage response; low-dose hypersensitivity; dose response; normal tissue; epidermis; keratinocyte; fractionated radiotherapy; DNA double strand break; DSB; foci; γH2AX; 53BP1; checkpoint; p21; apoptosis; mitosis; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

    Abstract : Investigations of DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms in normal tissues have implications for both cancer prevention and treatments. The accumulating knowledge about protein function and molecular markers makes it possible to directly trace and interpret cellular DDR in a tissue context. READ MORE

  7. 5. Non-invasive monitoring of low molecular weight biomarkers relevant to skin inflammation and cancer

    Author : Skaidre Jankovskaja; Tautgirdas Ruzgas; Johan Engblom; György Marko-Varga; Melinda Rezeli; Pawel Lukasz Urban; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tryptophan; Kynurenine; Phenylalanine; Tyrosine; Low molecular Weight Biomarkers; Non-Invasive; Skin Surface Sampling; Skin Permeability; Hydrogels; Prussian White; Health and society; Hälsa och samhälle;

    Abstract : Development of skin inflammation and cancer in viable epidermis and dermis involve slow molecular weight (LMW) metabolites. We hypothesize that these LMW compounds can be collected on the surface of the skin and used for non-invasive diagnostics of skin disorders. READ MORE
