  4. 2. The Molecular Epidemiology of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Author : Johan Isaksson; Johan Botling; Eva Brandén; Hirsh Koyi; Aija Knuuttila; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NSCLC; Lung Cancer; Epidemiology; Genetics; KRAS; Pathology; Biomarkers; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to explore the role of a spectrum of biomarkers, for disease classification or predictors of treatment outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Paper I examined the impact of systemic inflammation on the clinical outcome of NSCLC patients. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analysis of Tumor Markers in Tissue and Blood from Patients with Lung Cancer

    Author : Dijana Djureinovic; Patrick Micke; Keith Kerr; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : non-small cell lung cancer; prognostic biomarkers; cancer-testis antigens; prediction model; tumor markers; autoantibodies; testis; screening; Patologi; Pathology;

    Abstract : Despite recent treatment advancements, the survival outcome remains poor for the majority of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this thesis was to evaluate protein expression to predict prognosis and identify biomarkers that can be used as targets for immunotherapy or for early detection of NSCLC. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tissue Microarrays for Analysis of Expression Patterns

    Author : Cecilia Lindskog Bergström; Fredrik Pontén; Anna Asplund; Ari Ristimäki; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Proteins are essential building blocks in every living cell, and since the complete human genome was sequenced in 2004, researchers have attempted to map the human proteome, which is the functional representation of the genome. One such initiative is the Human Protein Atlas programme (HPA), which generates monospecific antibodies towards all human proteins and uses these for high-throughput tissue profiling on tissue microarrays (TMAs).

  7. 5. An epidemiological perspective on heart and lung weight in cardiac and intoxication deaths

    Author : Torfinn Beer; Carl Johan Wingren; Anders Eriksson; Britt-Marie Stålnacke; Kimberly Molina; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heart weight; lung weight; organ weight; autopsy; forensic pathology; Bayesian analysis; cardiac hypertrophy; fatal intoxication; Forensic Medicine; rättsmedicin;

    Abstract : The main purpose of a medico-legal autopsy is to determine the cause and manner of death. A forensic pathologist makes assessments of this using several sources of information, one of which is the discrepancy between measured organ weight and reference values. READ MORE
