  2. 1. Towards Personalized Cancer Therapy : New Diagnostic Biomarkers and Radiosensitization Strategies

    Author : Diana Spiegelberg; Marika Nestor; Bo Stenerlöw; Johan Lennartson; Theodosia Maina-Nock; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tumor targeting; radionuclide targeting; HSP90 inhibition; AT13387; radiosensitization; molecular imaging; combination treatment; EGFR; CD44v6; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the evaluation of biomarkers for radio-immunodiagnostics and radio-immunotherapy and on radiosensitization strategies after HSP90 inhibition, as a step towards more personalized cancer medicine. There is a need to develop new tracers that target cancer-specific biomarkers to improve diagnostic imaging, as well as to combine treatment strategies to potentiate synergistic effects. READ MORE

  4. 2. Precision medicine and targeted therapy : Turning the tables on cancer

    Author : Anja Mortensen; Marika Nestor; Gregory Adams; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : p53 cancers; PM2; radiosensitization; radio-immunotherapy; MDM2 X inhibition; combination therapy; targeted radionuclide therapy; CD44v6; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : An extended understanding of the molecular characteristics of cancer has led to a revolution within the field of precision medicine. This thesis explores the utilization of two targets for precision medicine, namely, CD44v6 and murine double-minute 2 and X (MDM2/X). READ MORE

  5. 3. Targeting molecules for diagnostics of Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma

    Author : Anna-Karin Haylock; Marika Nestor; Göran Laurell; Matti Anniko; Katrine Riklund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HNSCC; CD44v6; radio-immunodiagnosis; immuno-PET; tumor targeting; antibodies; antibody fragments; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

    Abstract : To personalize treatment for cancer, correct staging of the primary tumor, nodal disease and metastatic disease is of essence. By targeting tumor specific receptors with radiolabeled antibodies, specificity and accuracy of imaging may be improved. READ MORE

  6. 4. Diagnosis and Radioimmunotherapy of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas

    Author : Tomas Ekberg; Matti Anniko; Jörgen Carlsson; Eva Munck-Wikland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Otorhinolaryngology; head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; tumor targeting; radionuclide targeting; PET; therapy; diagnistics; antibodies; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Abstract : The diagnosis and treatment of patients with advanced tumors in the head and neck is an interesting challenge where there is a need for new approaches in diagnostics and adjuvant treatment. Differences in antigen expression between tumors and normal tissues provide a means for application of antibody-based targeting techniques. READ MORE

  7. 5. Antibody-Based Radionuclide Targeting for Diagnostics and Therapy : Preclinical Studies on Head and Neck Cancer

    Author : Marika Nestor; Matti Anniko; Jörgen Carlsson; Hans Lundqvist; Vladimir Tolmachev; Matthew Robinson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Otorhinolaryngology; antibodies; radionuclide targeting; tumour targeting; therapy; diagnostics; immuno-PET; head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Abstract : Antibody-based targeting techniques play an increasingly important role in cancer research. By targeting a structure that is abundant in tumour cells, but rare in healthy tissues, an antibody can mediate the delivery of radioactivity specifically to tumour cells in the body. READ MORE
