1. Colon Cancer, Prognosis After Surgery : What Are the Risks of Recurrent Disease, and How Do We Find Those at Risk?
Abstract : Colon cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide with approximately 1.2 million yearly cases. Developments in the standard of care have improved prognosis. In Paper I the recurrence risk was investigated in a national material consisting of 14,325 colon cancer patients. READ MORE

2. Circulating markers of risk and etiology in colorectal cancer
Abstract : Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women. Worldwide around 2 million individuals are diagnosed each year – a number expected to increase as colorectal cancer risk factors become more prevalent. READ MORE

3. Colorectal Cancer : Aspects of Heredity, Prognosis and Tumour Markers
Abstract : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancer types and leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Since CRC is a heterogenic disease, there is a demand for increased knowledge of the underlying genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. The aim of this thesis was to investigate heredity and potential tumour markers in relation to prognosis. READ MORE

4. Prognostic and Predictive Factors in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Abstract : The outcome for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients has improved substantially in recent decades. This has chiefly been observed in study populations, and predominantly in left-sided primary tumours, which is why we wanted to study if and how survival has improved in the background population.

5. Investigation of immune cell-derived factors as potential biomarkers in patients with colorectal cancer
Abstract : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related death. It is a heterogeneous disease involving multiple molecular pathways that result in differing phenotypes. Individual variability in CRC susceptibility is influenced by genetic variation, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). READ MORE
