1. Head and Neck Cancer: Studies on microvessel density, radiation response and FDG PET
Abstract : Treatment options of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) usually include combinations of radiotherapy and surgery, and in some cases addition of chemotherapy. In locally advanced cases cure rates are low. Current prognostic factors cannot foresee the outcome for the individual patient. READ MORE

3. Angiogenesis Related Markers In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Abstract : This thesis investigated the predictive and the prognostic powers of angiogenesis related markers in both operable and inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.In the first and second study, we investigated the serological fractions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in 2 cohorts of patients with either operable or inoperable NSCLC.

5. Positive and negative angiogenic factors in patients with malignant disease
Abstract : In this thesis, the levels of positive and negative angiogenic factors were studied in tissue, serum and urine from patients with malignant disease. The angiogenic factors VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor) were studied in breast carcinomas. READ MORE
