  2. 21. Monoclonal antibodies against human papillomavirus E7 oncoprotein for diagnosis of cervical neoplasia and cancer

    Author : Maria Lidqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human papillomavirus HPV ; Cervical cancer; Cervical neoplasia; E7 oncoprotein; Monoclonal antibodies; Cytology; Immunocytochemistry; Phage display;

    Abstract : Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide with half a million of new cases every year. Cervical cancer is caused by oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs), with HPV16 and 18 being the most frequently detected types. READ MORE

  4. 22. Studies on the biological functions of interaction between components in Wnt, TGF-β and HIF pathways for cancer progression

    Author : Karthik Aripaka; Maréne Landström; Jonas von Hofsten; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Ruth Palmer; Lars-Gunnar Larsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TRAF6; HIF-1α; HIF-2α; HIF-3α; ALK5; Wnt3a; Hypoxic signalling; TGF-β; zebrafish; β-Catenin; Pathology; patologi; Oncology; onkologi;

    Abstract : Cancer is a disease that involves aggressive changes in the genome and aberrant signals between the living cells. Signalling pathways such as TGF-β (Transforming growth factor-β), Wnt, EGF (epidermal growth factor) and HIF (Hypoxia-inducible factor) evolved to regulate growth and development in mammals.

  5. 23. Human papillomaviruses in skin cancer and cervical cancer

    Author : Kristin Andersson; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human papillomavirus; serology co-factors; non-melanoma skin cancer;

    Abstract : The causal relationship between persistent genital infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) and development of cervical cancer is well established. In contrast, the significance of infections with cutaneous HPV for development of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is not well understood. READ MORE

  6. 24. Identification and clinical implementation of biomarkers for cervical cancer

    Author : Malin Berggrund; Ulf Gyllensten; Stefan Enroth; Matts Olovsson; Pär Sparén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Cervical cancer; Human papilloma virus; Screening; Self-sampling; Biomarkers; Vaginal microbiota; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Introduction of organised screening programs and prophylactic vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV) have successfully reduced the incidence of cervical cancer globally. In Sweden, the incidence has been reduced by about 50 % since the introduction of the national screening programme in the late 1960’s. READ MORE

  7. 25. Prevention, incidence, and survival of cervical cancer in Sweden

    Author : Avalon Sundqvist; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cervical cancer; Human papillomavirus; Screening; Self-sampling; Incidence; Net survival;

    Abstract : Cervical cancer is preventable by screening. In 1967, Sweden introduced a cervical screening program. Screening for high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV), the causative factor of cervical cancer, is more sensitive than cytology and can be performed as a self-sample. Non-attendance to screening is a large risk factor for cervical cancer. READ MORE
