  2. 11. Interactions between Malignant Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts : Studies in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Author : Malin Hakelius; Daniel Nowinski; Bengt Gerdin; Kristofer Rubin; Avni Abdiu; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coculture; extracellular matrix; interleukin-1 alpha; tumor stroma; differential gene regulation; innate response; Plastic Surgery; Plastikkirurgi;

    Abstract : Carcinoma growth requires a supportive tumor stroma. The concept of reciprocal interactions between tumor and stromal cells has become widely acknowledged and the connective tissue activation seen in the malignant process has been likened to that of a healing wound. READ MORE

  4. 12. Oral cancer with special reference to virus detection and quantitative gene expression

    Author : Miranda Shojaeian Jalouli; Lars Sand; Jan Hirsch; Torbjörn Ramqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HPV; EBV; HSV-1; Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Leukoplakia; apopto-sis; cell cycle regulation; intermediate filament proteins.; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Abstract : Background. Head and neck cancers (HNC) are among the most common malignancies worldwide, and about 90–92% of oral neoplasias are oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). Alcohol and tobacco consumption have been recognized as the main risk factors for OSCC development. READ MORE

  5. 13. Oral leukoplakia, human papillomavirus and cancer transformation : Factors related to human papillomavirus infection and cell proliferation

    Author : Jonas Sundberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; potentially malignant oral disorders; HPV; recurrence;

    Abstract : Oral leukoplakia (OL) is clinically diagnosed as a white oral lesion that cannot be scraped of or diagnosed as any other type of oral lesion. OL has the potential to transform into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The gold standard treatment is a combination of surgical excision if possible, and surveillance. READ MORE

  6. 14. Predictive markers : for treatment sensitivity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

    Author : Lovisa Farnebo; Karin Roberg; Ann-Charlotte Johansson; Lena Norberg-Spaak; Antti Mäkitie; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer world wide. In Sweden approximately 850 new cases are diagnosed each year, and two thirds are men. The past decades of improved treatment strategies have unfortunately not significantly improved the five-year survival rates for this group of patients. READ MORE

  7. 15. Potentially Malignant Disorders and Oral cancer -A study on Immunosurveillance

    Author : Jenny Öhman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oral lichen planus; Leukoplakia; Oral cancer; Immunosurveillance; Solid organ transplantation; T cells; Langerhans cells;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT The cancer immunosurveillance hypothesis postulates that the immune system can recognize cancer cell precursors and destroy those cells before a clinical manifestation occurs. During the last decades several groups have presented evidence of the influence and role of immune activation in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients; however, much less is known about the role of immune activation in potentially malignant oral disorders (PMOD).
