2. Potential immunoregulatory role of T and dendritic cells in cancer : Investigations based on transcriptional analysis
Abstract : Cancer is a complex disease with various genetic and epigenetic driving factors. Cancer cells form a favored microenvironment to sustain their uncontrolled behavior leading to abnormal growth. With standard treatment including chemotherapy, relapse risk is high due to the resistance that cancer cells can develop against chemotherapy agents. READ MORE

3. Human papillomavirus in tonsillar cancer
Abstract : Human papillomviruses (HPVs) are known to be causative agents for the development of cervical carcinoma. To what extent HPV is associated with head and neck cancer remains to be clarified, but an association to tonsillar cancer has been proposed. Importantly, the oncogenes of HPV-16, namely E6 and E7, are generally expressed in tonsillar cancer. READ MORE

4. Studies on the occurrence and effects of human papillomavirus in tumors of the head and neck
Abstract : The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) was first reported in 1985. Since then, this association has been studied intensively and today there is substantial evidence for HPV as a causative agent and positive prognostic factor for clinical outcome in tonsillar cancer, but the association to other HNSCC is still unclear.

5. Human papillomavirus in recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, tonsillar and mobile tongue cancer
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the effects of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in tonsillar cancer, mobile tongue cancer, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). The purpose was to characterize patients with RRP in northern Sweden in order to identify more care-intensive RRP patients and to describe the voice and quality of life aspects that follow RRP.
