    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cysts; Cystic fluid; Pancreatic Cancer; Fine-needle Aspiration; Early diagnosis; Surgical instruments; Nitinol; Absorbable sutures; Loop brush; Cythopathology; Rapid on-site evaluation; Microfluidics; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Cysts, closed sac-like structures filled with fluid or air, can form anywhere in the body. In the majority of cases, cysts are benign (not cancerous). However, these structures can also be precursors of cancer, pointing to the location where cancer can originate. READ MORE

  4. 2. Early stage inflammation and cancer as reflected in the gastrointestinal mucus composition: implications for diagnosis, prognosis and pathogenesis

    Author : Karolina S. Jabbar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucus; Mass spectrometry; MUC2; MUC5AC; IPMN; Pancreatic cysts; Ulcerative colitis; IBS; Brachyspira;

    Abstract : Mucus covers our inner interfaces towards the environment, providing protection while enabling vital interaction with the outside world. The mucus is built around mucin proteins, which are important for our defences against infection and inflammation, but may also contribute to carcinogenesis and tumour progression. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pancreatic cancer : prevention through improved diagnostics in individuals at risk

    Author : Raffaella Pozzi Mucelli; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With the intent of timely detecting malignant precursors or pancreatic cancer (PC) in an early stage, current guidelines recommend surveillance for patients with pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs), such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), and individuals at risk (IAR) for familiar/hereditary pancreatic cancer (PC). This surveillance is mainly performed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies on molecular and immune signatures for detection of pancreatic cancer and COVID-19

    Author : Hassan Alkharaan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background and objectives: Etiological factors and accurate diagnostic biomarkers have remained elusive to pancreatic cancer, a disease with > 90% five-years mortality rate. The recent understanding of microbiome interaction with host organs has opened new research avenues on the potential role of microbiota in the tumor microenvironment. READ MORE
