2. 1. Pituitary Tumors - Epidemiology and the Diagnostic Value of 68Ga-DOTATOC PET

   Author : Axel Tjörnstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PET; Pituitary neuroendocrine tumor; pituitary tumor; somatostatin receptor imaging; gallium68; 68Ga; SSTR; SSTR-PET;

   Abstract : Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are considered common in the general population. However benign in most cases, these tumors can evoke dramatic morbidity in patients with aggressive tumor growth and/or excess hormone secretion. READ MORE

4. 2. Evolution of Vertebrate Endocrine and Neuronal Gene Families : Focus on Pituitary and Retina

   Author : Daniel Ocampo Daza; Dan Larhammar; Marc Robinson-Rechavi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : phylogenetics; evolution; molecular evolution; gene family evolution; genome duplication; gene duplication; oxytocin receptor; vasopressin receptor; visual opsin; transducin; growth hormone; prolactin; somatolactin; growth hormone receptor; prolactin receptor; somatostatin receptor; SSTR; IGFBP; evolution; molekylär evolution; fylogeni;

   Abstract : The duplication of genes followed by selection is perhaps the most prominent way in which molecular biological systems gain multiplicity, diversity and functional complexity in evolution. Whole genome duplications (WGDs) therefore have the potential of generating an extraordinary amount of evolutionary innovation. READ MORE

5. 3. Lutetium-177-octreotate treatment of small intestine neuroendocrine tumors - Radiation biology as basis for optimization

   Author : Johan Spetz; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; PRRT; somatostatin receptors; SSTR; midgut carcinoid; radiogenomics;

   Abstract : Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) often have metastatic spread at the time of diagnosis. NETs frequently express somatostatin receptors (SSTR) that can be targeted by radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (e.g. 177Lu-octreotate). READ MORE

6. 4. lmprovement of 177Lu-octreotate treatment of small-intestine neuroendocrine tumors by hyperfractionation

   Author : Mikael Elvborn; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; PRRT; somatostatin receptor; SSTR; apoptosis; gene expression; epigenetic effects;

   Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumor incidence is steadily rising, and the late diagnosis often results in metastatic disease and current treatments mostly prolong life and in-crease quality of life without increasing cure rate. 177Lu-octreotate was recently approved for treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, but the dosage scheme should be optimized.

7. 5. Novel Circulating and Tissue Biomarkers for Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Tumors and Lung Carcinoids

   Author : Tao Cui; Valeria Giandomenico; Kjell Öberg; Apostolos V. Tsolakis; Marco Volante; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; small intestine neuroendocrine tumors; lung carcinoids; Ma2 autoantibodies; immunohistochemistry; olfactory receptor 51E1; blood samples; antibody suspension bead array; 小肠神经内分泌肿瘤，肺类癌，Ma2自身抗体，免疫组化，嗅觉受体蛋白51E1， 血液样本，抗体悬浮磁珠阵列; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi; Endocrinology and Diabetology; Lung Medicine; Lungmedicin; Molecular Biology; Molekylärbiologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Abstract : Small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) and lung carcinoids (LCs) are relatively indolent tumors, which originate from neuroendocrine (NE) cells of the diffuse NE system. Metastases can spread before diagnosis. Thus, potential cures become unavailable, which entitles new biomarker development. READ MORE
