  2. 1. Pharmacometric Models for Biomarkers, Side Effects and Efficacy in Anticancer Drug Therapy

    Author : Emma K. Hansson; Lena Friberg; Mats O Karlsson; Charlotte Kloft; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacokinetics; Pharmacodynamics; Oncology; Febrile Neutropenia; GIST; Sunitinib; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi;

    Abstract : New approaches quantifying the effect of treatment are needed in oncology to improve the drug development process and to enable treatment optimization for existing therapies. This thesis focuses on the development of pharmacometric models for biomarkers, side effects and efficacy in order to identify predictors of clinical response in anti-cancer drug therapy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Intratumoral Predictive Markers in Metastatic Renal Cancer Patients

    Author : Marjut Niinivirta; Gustav Ullenhag; Gunilla Enblad; Sten Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Renal cell cancer; predictive marker; tyrosine kinase inhibitor; tissue microarray; cubilin; annexin A1; PKLR; ELTD1; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : There is no established predictive marker for the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) patients. With a predictive marker, patients unlikely to respond could be selected upfront and offered other therapy options. Thereby, unnecessary toxicity could be avoided and costs would be reduced.

  5. 3. Axl RTK and microRNAs in urogenital cancers

    Author : Helena Fritz; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on four projects focused on the Axl receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and microRNAs in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and in prostate cancer (PCa). Paper I focuses on differentially expressed microRNAs in ccRCC. READ MORE

  6. 4. The role of autophagy in anticancer therapy

    Author : Matheus Dyczynski; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Autophagy is a fundamental catabolic process, which is utilized by nearly every cell and tissue type upon stress exposure and has been shown to contribute to resistance to chemotherapy in a variety of cancers. The subject of this thesis is to shed light on the role of autophagy in chemotherapy and to investigate novel regulators of autophagy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Vascular targeting for enhanced cancer immunotherapy

    Author : Maria Georganaki; Anna Dimberg; Sara Mangsbo; Lena Claesson-Welsh; Wolf Hervé Fridman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer immunotherapy; tumor vasculature; endothelial activation; IDO1; ELTD1; tertiary lymphoid organ; Biologi; Biology;

    Abstract : Induced angiogenesis and chronic inflammation are major components of tumor immunosuppression. The scope of this thesis is to understand the role of the vasculature in anti-tumor immunity and thereby to improve cancer immunotherapy. READ MORE
