  2. 1. The role of stroma-derived substances in breast cancer progression and their function as tumour markers

    Author : Malin Jansson; Malin Sund; Daniel Öhlund; Ola Billing; Emma Niméus; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; perlecan; type IV collagen; type I collagen; extracellular matrix; tumour biomarkers; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Background: In 2020, more than 2,260,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Most patients are cured with surgery and adjuvant treatment, but despite that, approximately 700,000 women die of the disease every year. The historical focus on breast cancer progression has been on the malignant epithelial cell. READ MORE

  4. 2. Angiogenesis regulation in hormone dependent breast- and ovarian cancer

    Author : Christina Bendrik; Charlotta Dabrosin; Malin Sund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis is a key event in tumor progression and a rate-limiting step in the establishment of a clinical cancer disease. The net balance of pro- and anti-angiogenesis mediators in the tissue dictates the angiogenic phenotype of a tumor. READ MORE

  5. 3. In search of early biomarkers in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using multi-omics and bioinformatics

    Author : Emmy Borgmästars; Malin Sund; Ola Billing; Pär Jonsson; Zelmina Lubovac-Pilav; Oskar Franklin; Stefan Enroth; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreatic cancer; microRNA functional analysis; TPS; miRNomics; metabolomics; proteomics; plasma samples; early detection; risk; survival;

    Abstract : Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a very aggressive malignancy with a 5-year survival of 10 %. Surgery is the only curative treatment. Unfortunately, few patients are eligible for surgery due to late detection. Thus, we need ways to detect the disease at an earlier stage and for that good screening biomarkers could be used.

  6. 4. The Akt/mTOR Pathway and Estrogen Receptor Phosphorylations : a crosstalk with potential to predict tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer

    Author : Josefine Bostner; Olle Stål; Cecilia Bivik; Malin Sund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Estrogen receptor α content is the primary breast cancer biomarker distinguishing the patients responsive from the non-responsive to endocrine treatments. Tamoxifen is an estrogen competitor with large potential to treat breast cancer patients and prolongs time to recurrence. READ MORE

  7. 5. Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours : Genetic and Epigenetic Studies and Novel Serum Biomarkers

    Author : Katarina Edfeldt; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Gunnar Westin; Malin Sund; Endokrinkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; SI-NET; microarray; tumour suppressor gene; epigenetic; serum biomarkers; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) are rare, hormone producing and proliferate slowly. Patients usually display metastases at time of diagnosis, the tumours are difficult to cure, and the disease course is unpredictable. READ MORE
