    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in up to 20% of breast cancer cases and is considered an important prognostic factor and a therapeutic target. READ MORE

  4. 2. CD93 in regulation of vascular function and tumour progression

    Author : Kalyani Vemuri; Anna Dimberg; Pipsa Saharinen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CD93; Tumour angiogenesis; Vascular permeability; Endothelial junctions; Cancer; Glioblastoma; Metastasis;

    Abstract : To achieve successful vascular targeting in cancer, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that lead to tumour vascular abnormalities is required.  The transmembrane protein CD93 is highly expressed in the vasculature of several tumours including glioblastoma and has emerged as a potential anti-angiogenic target.

    Abstract : Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. Overall survival is about 70% and in cases where current treatment fails, the disease recurs and most often is fatal. At the molecular level, MB can be divided into four defined subgroups: WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular Genetic Alterations In Endometrial And Ovarian Cancers

    Abstract : Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer diagnosed in western countries. Complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) reflects a state of hyperestrinism and its role as a precursor lesion of this cancer is established. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biomarkers for CNS metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

    Author : Georgios Tsakonas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprises more than 75% of lung cancer cases and is usually diagnosed in advanced stages. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among all solid tumours and the second most common malignancy globally. READ MORE
