  2. 1. Bystander Cells and Prognosis in Hodgkin Lymphoma

    Abstract : Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is characterised histologically by a minority of malignant Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells surrounded by benign cells, and clinically by a relatively good prognosis. The treatment, however, leads to a risk of serious side effects. READ MORE

  4. 2. Potential New Drugs in Lymphoma

    Abstract : Lymphomas are malignant tumours arising from cells in the lymphatic system. They are classified as B-cell lymphomas, T-cell lymphomas and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Of the B-cell lymphomas, one of the most common is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). READ MORE

  5. 3. Eosinophil Cationic Protein : Expression Levels and Polymorphisms

    Author : Jonas Byström; Helene Rosenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Eosinophils; Neutrophils; Monocytes; Macrophages; mRNA; eosinophil cationic protein; DNA; polymorphism; Hodgkin Lymphoma; asthma; allergy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : The eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is usually associated with the eosinophil granulocyte. In this thesis the presence and production of this protein has been studied in two other cells. The circulating monocyte was found to contain ECP mRNA and small amounts of ECP, one thousand times less than that found in the eosinophil. READ MORE

  6. 4. Clinical studies in aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with special reference to elderly patients

    Author : Eva Ösby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aggressive; non-Hodgkin s lymphoma; elderly; CHOP; mitoxantrone; etoposide; G-CSF; response evaluation; longevity;

    Abstract : The age-adjusted incidence rate of non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma (NHL), in particular diffuse large B cell lymphoma, has increased continuously during several decades. Patients with aggressive NHL are potentially curable but the 5-year overall survival (OS) is still less than 50% in the whole group. READ MORE

  7. 5. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cancer : epidemiological and immunohistochemical studies on SLE patients with malignant lymphoma or myeloid leukaemia

    Author : Björn Lövström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Malignancy as a cause of death was reported in occasional SLE patients, but the question whether patients with SLE have an increased risk of developing cancer compared to the general population has remained unanswered. To address this question, we created a national Swedish SLE cohort from the Hospital Discharge Register where all patients with an SLE diagnosis between 1964 and 1994 were included. READ MORE
