  2. 1. Immune modulation in serous epithelial ovarian cancer : focus on the role of tumor-derived exosomes

    Author : Alireza Labani Motlagh; Lucia Mincheva-Nilsson; Ola Winqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ovarian cancer; EOC; HGSC; exosomes; NKG2D; MICA B; ULBP; DNAM-1; PVR; nectin-2; lncRNAs; immune suppression; anti-tumor immunity; NK-cell cytotoxicity; cytokines; Th1; Th2; T regulatory response; inflammation; tumor microenvironment;

    Abstract : Serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a potent suppressor of the immune defense. Here, we studied interactions between EOC and the immune system that lead to escape from tumor immune surveillance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mechanisms for immune escape in epithelial ovarian cancer

    Author : Pernilla Israelsson; Ulrika Ottander; Lucia Mincheva-Nilsson; Eva Lundin; Ivan Nagaev; Karin Sundfeldt; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human; ovarian cancer; high-grade serous cancer; EOC; HGSC; HGSOC; tumor microenvironment; immune escape; immune suppression; cytokines; exosomes; NKG2D; MICA B; ULBP1-3; DNAM-1; surgery; obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Tumors develop mechanisms to subvert the immune system, constituting immune escape. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the deadliest of all gynecological malignancies, uses a variety of mechanisms to undermine immune surveillance, aiding its establishment and metastatic spreading.

  5. 3. Clinical implementation of novel diagnostic biomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancer - Can we improve diagnosis?

    Author : Maria Lycke; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ovarian neoplasms; EOC; Diagnosis; protein biomarkers; HE4; CA125; Algorithms; RMI; ROMA; NGS; rare mutations; liquid biopsies; screening;

    Abstract : Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer. The 5-year survival is about 30%, a consequence of failure to establish early diagnosis due to unspecific symptoms. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tumor progression in the ovary and colon. The interaction of Wnt-signaling, transcription and formation of prostaglandins

    Author : Katarina Rask; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : CCAAT Enhancer Binding Proteins C EBPs ; Wingless Wnt Wnt signaling pathway; Cyclooxygenases COXs ; colorectal cancer CRC ; epithelial ovarian cancer EOC ;

    Abstract : Alterations in cell-cell adhesion, intracellular signaling and transcriptional regulation are common events during transformation of cells to the malignant phenotype. Different cellular defense mechanisms, e.g. inflammatory responses, mediated by prostaglandins, have also been associated with tumor development. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immunohistochemical and molecular studies on ovarian cancer progression and prognosis

    Author : Björn Nodin; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epithelial ovarian cancer; prognostic and predictive biomarkers; tissue microarrays; androgen receptor; RBM3; Chek1; Chek2; MCM3; Dachshund 2; SATB1; KRAS mutation;

    Abstract : Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal malignancy of the female reproductive tract. Due to vague symptomatology, the majority of EOC patients are diagnosed in advanced clinical stages with poor survival rates, despite improvements in surgical techniques and the advent of targeted therapeutics.
