    Abstract : Muscle-invasive urinary bladder cancer is a deadly disease. Mortality rates remained unchanged for decades despite radical surgery.After several randomized trials, we today know that cisplatin based chemotherapy given prior to cystectomy, improves survival for every tenth patient.

    Abstract : Tumor invasion and metastasis are the major causes of cancer-related death. Proteases are important for the invasive and metastatic propensities of tumors. We have studied the mechanism underlying endogenous expression of the serine protease urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) by human breast cancer cells. READ MORE

    Abstract : Tumors express antigens characteristic of their malignant phenotype, a fact that has become exploited for the diagnosis of certain types of cancer. As these tumor-associated antigens (TAA) may also provide Information on the molecular mechanisms of tumorogenesls as well as constituting the basis for immunotherapeutlc approaches, much Interest has been focused on the Identification and characterization of TAAs.
