2. 1. Hodgkin Lymphoma : Studies of Advanced Stages, Relapses and the Relation to Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas

   Author : Rose-Marie Amini; Volker Diehl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Hodgkin lymphoma; advanced stages; relapse; p53; EBV; Rb; cell line; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

   Abstract : The relationship between Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is not entirely elucidated and a clonal relation may be present more often than previously believed. Mechanisms of tumour progression and resistance to therapy are poorly understood.Between 1974 and 1994 all individuals in Sweden with both HL and NHL were identified. READ MORE

4. 2. Genetic characterization of non-Hodgkin lymphomas using in situ hybridization

   Author : Svetlana Lagercrantz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Myelodysplastic syndrome; non-Hodgkin lymphoma; fluorescencein situ hybridization; LAZ3BCL6 expression; chromosome rearrangements;

   Abstract : Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been shown to be a valuable and important technique in cytogenetics, as a complement to traditional banding analysis. This thesis focus on the characterization of chromosomal rearrangements in two hematological neoplasias, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) using FISH. READ MORE

5. 3. Long-term survival and survivorship in non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients in Sweden

   Author : Sara Ekberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is one of the top ten most common cancer types in Sweden. Although sometimes referred to as one disease, NHL is truly an umbrella term representing a heterogeneous group of diseases with varying clinical course and prognosis. READ MORE

6. 4. Estrogen regulation of non-Hodgkin lymphomas and its underlying mechanisms

   Author : Dan Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Most non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), show a higher male to female incidence ratio. The reason for this is not clear, but epidemiological and experimental studies have suggested a role for estrogens in NHL acting via estrogen receptor β (ERβ). READ MORE

7. 5. Etiological risk factors and clinical characteristics of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Uganda

   Author : Jackson Orem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Epstein-Barr virus;

   Abstract : Introduction: Incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has increased greatly over time, especially in children. Improved diagnostic methods alone cannot explain this increase, especially the increase observed in sub-Saharan Africa, where diagnostic capabilities are low. READ MORE
