2. 1. Prognostic factors in soft tissue sarcoma. Tissue microarray for immunostaining, the importance of whole-tumor sections and time-dependence

   Author : Jacob Engellau; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth pattern; time-dependence; P-glycoprotein Pgp ; CD44; β-catenin; cyclin A; bcl-2; p53; Ki-67; immunohistochemistry IHC ; whole-tumor sections; tissue microarray TMA ; Soft tissue sarcoma; prognostic factors; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

   Abstract : In adult soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the extremities and trunk wall, improved prognostic factors are needed to identify patients at high-risk for metastasis. Various factors are included in the many prognostic systems currently in use and the prognostic value of immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of biological markers is unclear. READ MORE

4. 2. Pathogenetic Mechanisms in Soft Tissue Tumors

   Author : Elsa Arbajian; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
   Keywords : Soft tissue tumors; Sarcomas; Gene fusions; SNP array; Next generation sequencing; Haploidization; Point mutations;

   Abstract : Soft tissue tumors (STT) constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors that arise in tissues of mesenchymal origin. They are currently classified according to morphology and resemblance to normal tissue into over 100 subtypes. READ MORE

5. 3. Genetic Profiling in Soft Tissue Sarcoma

   Author : Princy Francis; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; synovial sarcoma; prognosis; Cytology; SS18-SSX; intratumor heterogeneity; aCGH; array comparative genomic hybridization; gene expression analysis; microarray; cDNA; Soft tissue sarcoma; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

   Abstract : Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of highly malignant mesenchymal tumors that account for ~1% of all malignancies. Frequent heterogeneity and pleomorphism along with suboptimal diagnostic reproducibility and insufficient prognostic markers make clinical management of these tumors difficult. READ MORE

6. 4. Soft Tissue Sarcoma Patterns multiplicity, heterogeneity and growth characteristics

   Author : Josefin Fernebro; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancerology; Cytologi; oncology; Soft tissue sarcoma; tumor periphery; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Medicin människa och djur ; Cytology; multiple primary tumors; onkologi; cancer;

   Abstract : Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) represent a group of rare and heterogenous tumors that optimally should be diagnosed and treated within multidisciplinary teams. This thesis has studied various aspects ? pathological, genetical, and clinical ? of STS. READ MORE

7. 5. Imaging of soft tissue tumors

   Author : Hildur Einarsdóttir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this project on soft tissue tumors, was to evaluate existing imaging methods and test new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences for diagnosis and assessment of cytotoxic therapy and to relate the imaging studies to cytology to explore the limitations of each procedure. Patients and method: The studies were based on patients with a soft tissue lesion diagnosed and treated at the Orthopedic Tumor Service at the Karolinska Hospital 1990-2003. READ MORE
