  2. 1. Tracking functional changes in the cancer genome : a molecular genetic analysis of renal and prostatic carcinomas using PCR based techniques by a candidate chromosome and candidate gene approach

    Author : Chunde Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Renal cell carcinoma; Prostatic Carcinoma; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignancy occurring in the adult kidney. Prostatic carcinoma is the most common male malignancy in most Western countries. Several environmental factors have been suggested to contributed to the tumor genesis but the involvement of genetic factors is also recognized. READ MORE

  5. 3. INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER - Aspects on staging and prognosis

    Author : Fredrik Liedberg; Urologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nephrology; Urology; prognosis; invasive bladder cancer; staging; Urologi; nefrologi;

    Abstract : Background: The difficulty of determining the prognosis for the individual patient with invasive bladder cancer is a major clinical problem. Currently, decisions regarding therapy are mainly based on tumour stage and grade, the first of which is notoriously demanding to ascertain. READ MORE

  6. 4. Quantitative cellular methods in the evaluation of prostate cancer

    Author : Naining Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : prostate cancer; histopathology; nuclear morphology; DNA ploidy; S-phase fraction; thymidine kinas; Ki-67; cell proliferation; fluorescence cytometry; tissue PSA; prognosis;

    Abstract : The distinction between those prostate cancers rapidly progressing and leading to death and those with little likelihood of causing death in cancer is a major goal in current prostate cancer research. Morphological tumor characteristics at present are the basis for evaluation of the prognosis of the disease. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nitric oxide : a marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract

    Author : Abolfazl Hosseini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The main aim of this work is to investigate the role of Nitric oxide (NO) as a diagnostic marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract. NO exerts multiple modulating effects on inflammation and plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses. NO is formed enzymatically in vivo from Larginine by several NO synthases (NOS).
