2. 1. Indirect Radiohalogenation of Targeting Proteins : Labelling Chemistry and Biological Characterisation

   Author : Anna Orlova; Hans Lundqvist; Jörgen Carlsson; Lars Gedda; Jacek Capala; D.Scott Wilbur; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; radiohalogenation; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Biomedical Radiation Science; biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

   Abstract : In about half of all newly diagnosed cancer cases, conventional treatment is not adequately curative, mainly due to the failure of conventional techniques to find and kill residual cells and metastases, which might consist of only a few malignant cells, without causing unacceptable complications to healthy tissue. To solve the problem a more selective delivery of cytotoxic substances to tumour cells is needed. READ MORE

4. 2. Theranostic Targeting of GRPR and PSMA in Prostate Cancer

   Author : Ayman Abouzayed; Anna Orlova; Ulrika Rosenström; Anzhelika Vorobyeva; Bogdan Mitran; Cristina Müller; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; gastrin-releasing peptide receptor GRPR ; prostate-specific membrane antigen PSMA ; nuclear medicine; molecular imaging; radiotracers; theranostics; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on five original articles that investigated the theranostics of prostate cancer by gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting. GRPR and PSMA are two extensively evaluated prostate cancer cell markers due to their overexpression in the majority of prostate cancer samples. READ MORE

5. 3. Molecular Radionuclide Imaging Using Site-specifically Labelled Recombinant Affibody Molecules : Preparation and Preclinical Evaluation

   Author : Sara Ahlgren; Vladimir Tolmachev; Anna Orlova; Göran Hedenstierna; Joachim Feldwisch; Raymond Reilly; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; molecular radionuclide imaging; Affibody molecules; HER2; cancer detection; radiolabelling; technetium; indium; cobalt; SPECT; PET; Oncology; Onkologi; Diagnostic radiology; Diagnostisk radiologi; Radiation biology; Strålningsbiologi; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Radionuclide molecular imaging is an emerging multidisciplinary technique that is used in modern medicine to visualise diseases at cellular and molecular levels. This thesis is based on five papers (I-V) and focuses on the development of site-specific radiolabelled recombinant anti-HER2 Affibody molecules and preclinical evaluations in vitro and in vivo of the labelled conjugates.

6. 4. Preclinical Development of Imaging Agents for HER2 Expression in Prostate Cancer Using Radiolabeled Affibody Molecules

   Author : Jennie Malmberg; Anna Orlova; Vladimir Tolmachev; Marika Nestor; Eric O. Aboagye; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis is focused on pre-clinical evaluation of in vivo detection of HER2-expression in prostate cancer (PCa) patients and on the possibility of using targeted molecular imaging to personalize treatment of disseminated PCa. The work is divided into three distinct parts: (1) the establishment of a preclinical model for further studies, (2) imaging of HER2 in a murine model of PCa and (3) exploration of new treatment regimes against PCa.

7. 5. Prostate cancer theranostics using GRPR antagonist RM26

   Author : Bogdan Mitran; Anna Orlova; Vladimir Tolmachev; Ulrika Rosenström; Tony Lahoutte; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gastrin-releasing peptide receptor GRPR ; Bombesin; Prostate-specific membrane antigen PSMA ; Antagonist; Radionuclide molecular imaging; Theranostics; Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy PRRT .;

   Abstract : The malignant transformation of cells is often associated with an alteration of their molecular phenotype, resulting in overexpression of several cell surface proteins. Gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) are examples of such pro-teins that are expressed at a high density in prostate cancer. READ MORE
