  2. 1. Targeting molecules for diagnostics of Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma

    Author : Anna-Karin Haylock; Marika Nestor; Göran Laurell; Matti Anniko; Katrine Riklund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HNSCC; CD44v6; radio-immunodiagnosis; immuno-PET; tumor targeting; antibodies; antibody fragments; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

    Abstract : To personalize treatment for cancer, correct staging of the primary tumor, nodal disease and metastatic disease is of essence. By targeting tumor specific receptors with radiolabeled antibodies, specificity and accuracy of imaging may be improved. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pattern-recognition receptors and neutrophils in cancer inflammation

    Author : Camilla Rydberg Millrud; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic inflammation, induced by the use of tobacco and alcohol, or caused by infections has long been suggested to constitute a risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The innate immunity is the first line of defense against pathogens, comprising physical and chemical barriers, anti-microbial peptides, pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) as well as different kinds of cells, including neutrophils.

  5. 3. Biomarkers in the tumor microenvironment with impact on treatment response and survival in head and neck cancer

    Author : Nataša Matić; Karin Roberg; Emilia Wiechec; Marcus Ressner; Lovisa Farnebo; Marika Nestor; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer type worldwide and disease detects at a locally advanced stage in approximately 60% of all patients with HNSCC. Despite the advances in both diagnosis and treatment of cancer, therapy failure with local recurrence and second primary tumors as consequences is still a huge problem. READ MORE

  6. 4. Methods for early diagnosis of head and neck cancer

    Author : Sushma Nordemar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Head and neck; laminin5; cystic metastasis; ICM DNA-analysis; aneuploidy;

    Abstract : Head and Neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) is the fifth most common malignancy in the western countries and in Sweden it comprises 2- 3% of all cancer cases. Alcohol and tobacco are known as principal etiological factors but other carcinogenic attributes i.e. viruses and bethel chewing have also been recognised. READ MORE
