    Keywords : Oncology; ovarian cancer; chemotherapy resistance; predictive markers;

    Abstract : Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of all gynecological malignancies, and exhibit an overall fiveyear survival rate of only 48% in Sweden. The high mortality in ovarian cancer is largely due to late diagnosis and chemotherapy resistance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Analysis of genetic variations in cancer

    Author : Johanna Hasmats; Joakim Lundeberg; Carsten Daub; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; Mutations; Variations; Single Nucleotide Polymorphism; DNA; RNA; Genome; Massively Parallel Sequencing; Exome Sequencing; Toxicity;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to apply recently developed technologies for genomic variation analyses, and to ensure quality of the generated information for use in preclinical cancer research.Faster access to a patients’ full genomic sequence for a lower cost makes it possible for end users such as clinicians and physicians to gain a more complete understanding of the disease status of a patient and adjust treatment accordingly.
