    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

  4. 2. Macrophage antigen expression in breast and colorectal cancers : A consequence of macrophage - tumour cell fusion?

    Author : Ivan Shabo; Joar Svanvik; Bengt Gustavsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Carcinogenesis is a sophisticated biological process consisting of a series of progressive changes in somatic cells from premalignant to malignant phenotype. Despite the vast information available about cancer cells, the origin of cancer and cause of metastasis still remain enigmatic. READ MORE

  5. 3. Clinical and functional aspects of microRNA regulation in human cancers

    Author : Stefano Caramuta; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : miRNAs are short single-stranded non-coding RNAs which regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in many biological processes, including proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. A number of studies have shown the importance of miRNAs in carcinogenesis and accumulating evidence supports their role as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in human cancers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Endogenous and exogenous hormonal factors in female cancers : studies of risk and prognosis

    Author : Chantal Claudine Orgéas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Extensive evidence points to hormonal influences which play a critical role in the development and progression of breast, ovarian and endometrial or uterine cancers. These cancers share many common hormonal features, which are crucial in the etiology and subsequent development of these cancers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Malignant melanoma-Risk factors and the CDKN2A mutation in relation to phenotypes and other cancers

    Author : Kari Nielsen; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; clinically atypical nevus; nevus; CDKN2A; melanoma; risk factors; sunbed; UVR;

    Abstract : Background: Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is an increasingly common cancer in fair-skinned people. The purpose of this thesis was to study high-risk patients with multiple tumours including a CMM, high-risk families with the unique Swedish germline mutation in CDKN2A(113insArg), as well as study risk factors for CMM in women.
