    Abstract : Background: Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of glioma and associated with poor prognosis. Apart from ionizing radiation and some rare genetic disorders, few aetiological factors have been identified for primary brain tumours. READ MORE

  5. 3. Tamoxifen response in primary breast cancer with special reference to tumour-specific VEGF-A and VEGFR2

    Author : Lisa Rydén; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer; prognosis; randomised controlled trial; adjuvant tamoxifen treatment; vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2; breast cancer; vascular endothelial growth factor A;

    Abstract : Background: Treatment of primary breast cancer is individualised and adjuvant systemic treatment is delivered to most patients after surgery. Oestrogen receptor (ER) status and progesterone receptor status (PR) can define patients who would benefit from adjuvant endocrine therapy with tamoxifen (TAM) alone or as chemo-endocrine therapy.

  6. 4. Recruitment of circulating cells into skeletal muscle : occurrence and possible mechanisms

    Author : Anna Strömberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tissue remodeling is a central process for all life. When a tissue is exposed to environmental stress such as injury, both local cells and cells from the periphery are recruited to regenerate and remodel the tissue. During the last decades the importance of resident cells, e.g. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cyclooxygenase activity and tumor progression

    Author : Christian Cahlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cyclooxugenase; PGE2; inflammation; cytokine; nitric oxide; indomethacin; IL-6;

    Abstract : Invasive growth of malignant tumors is associated with local and systemic inflammation, which may promote progression and metastases. Inflammation is also responsible for appearing manifestations of advanced cancer as fatigue, anorexia and wasting with eicosanoids, proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide as mediators. READ MORE
