  2. 11. Urinary Bladder Carcinoma – Studies of Outcome of Current Management and Experimental Therapy

    Author : Truls Gårdmark; Per-Uno Malmström; Jörgen Carlsson; Sverker Hellsten; Willem Oosterlinck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Bladder; Epidemiology; Administration; Intravesical; Radiotherapy; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : The thesis concerns the epidemiology, current and possible future treatment of urothelial cancer of the urinary bladder. The Swedish National Quality Registry for Bladder Cancer 1997-2001 was used to explore epidemiology, current therapies and outcome. More common in men, the incidence for Ta and T1 tumours peaks in the age range 70-79 years. READ MORE

  4. 12. Adaptive immunity in urothelial cancer : molecular and clinical aspects

    Author : David Krantz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the battle between the immune system and cancer, tolerance mechanisms otherwise protective against autoimmunity, are exploited to halt the anti-tumor immune response. In this model, tumors turn distinct parts of the immune system against each other; suppressive cells such as regulatory T cells (Tregs) are hijacked to obstruct effector lymphocytes in their attempt to eradicate the tumor.

  5. 13. Tissue biomarkers in prostate cancer

    Author : Sara Jonmarker Jaraj; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common male cancer in the western world. Better biomarkers are needed to support diagnosis, prediction of prognosis and treatment decision Radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens are routinely immersed in formalin overnight. Formalin may also be injected into the prostate for improved fixation. READ MORE

    Author : Hans Olsson; Staffan Jahnson; Per Hultman; Peter Söderkvist; Sten Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Approximately 2 300 new cases of urinary bladder carcinoma (UBC) are diagnosed every year in Sweden. This type of cancer is characterized as a long-standing disease with a high risk of recurrence and progression from an indolent to a more aggressive course. READ MORE

  7. 15. Molecular cytogenetic investigations of chromosomal abnormalities in prostate and urinary bladder cancers

    Author : Yi Pan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : prostate cancer; bladder cancer; FISH; SKY;

    Abstract : Tumorigenesis is suggested to be caused by base pair mutations and chromosomal abnormalities leading to inactivation of tumor suppressor genes an activation of oncogenes. However, still it is not clear for the vast majority of these changes how they contribute to the tumorigenesis of the prostate and bladder cancers. READ MORE
