2. 21. Identification of tissue biomarkers of prognostic significance in pancreatic cancer

   Author : Dingyuan Hu; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pancreatic cancer; proteomics; mass spectrometry; Biomarkers; prognosis; CLCA1; pankreascancer; proteomik; masspektrometri; biomarkörer; prognos; CLCA1;

   Abstract : Background: Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Lack of early detection strategies and therapeutic resistance are main contributors to the poor prognosis. Unfortunately, there are no tissue biomarkers available for the prognosis of pancreatic cancer in routine clinical use. READ MORE

4. 22. Predictors of Lymph Node Metastasis in Primary Breast Cancer - Risk Models for Tailored Axillary Management

   Author : Looket Dihge; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast Cancer; Axillary lymph node dissection; Sentinel lymph node biopsy; Ultrasonography; Nomogram; Artificial neural network; Gene Expression; Prediction model;

   Abstract : Most patients with breast cancer present with low-risk tumors, node-negative disease, and excellent prognosis. For these patients, routine axillary nodal staging by sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has no therapeutic benefit. For patients with limited sentinel lymph node metastasis, completion axillary nodal dissection is controversial. READ MORE

5. 23. Laparoscopic surgery as treatment for rectal cancer

   Author : John Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rectal neoplasms; Laparoscopy; Quality of life;

   Abstract : Introduction Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, with nearly 1.4 million new cases annually, of which about one third suffer from rectal cancer. Laparoscopic surgery has in several surgical fields shown faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and less pain than open surgery. READ MORE

6. 24. Experimental and population-based studies on colorectal cancer - Thymidine phosphorylase as a potential biomarker

   Author : Elinor Bexe-Lindskog; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; thymidine phosphorylase; chemotherapy; adjuvant; biological markers; prognosis; practice guidelines; radiotherapy;

   Abstract : Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies, and the only reliable treatment option for cure is surgery. Method: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the gene expression of the enzyme thymidine phosphorylase (TP), which was related to prognostic factors (paper I, n=254), evaluated as a predictive factor (paper III, n=125), and assessed by change of treatment (paper II, n=28).

7. 25. Prostanoids and colorectal cancer

   Author : Annika Gustafsson Asting; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer prostanoid receptors cyclooxygenase PGE2 transcription factors;

   Abstract : Tumor disease is a main cause of death in Western countries and a most common malignancy is colorectal cancer (CRC). Growing tumors are dependent on interactions among several different cells as well as signaling pathways. READ MORE
