  2. 1. Extratumoral effects of highly aggressive prostate cancer

    Author : Kerstin Strömvall; Anders Bergh; Sofia Halin Bergström; Göran Landberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; tumor instructed normal tissue; TINT; non-malignant prostate tissue; lymph nodes; lymph node metastasis; pre-metastatic niche; tumor microenvironment; tumor macroenvironment; tumor immunoediting; Dunning rat model of prostate cancer;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer in Sweden. Most patients have slow growing tumors that will not cause them any harm within their lifetime, but some have aggressive tumors and will die from their disease. READ MORE

  4. 2. Assessments of PSA Forms and hK2 as Very Early Predictors of Prostate Cancer

    Author : David Ulmert; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate Cancer Screening; PSA; Prostate Cancer; Klinisk kemi; Clinical chemistry; Early Detection; hK2;

    Abstract : Concentrations of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and human kallikrein 2 (hK2) were investigated in blood samples that had been obtained from men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) decades later. The studies were based on a cohort comprising 22,444 men who, in 1974?1986, were early middle aged and represented a non-PCa-screened population. READ MORE

  5. 3. Human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) in prostate cancer: Clinical and Methodological studies

    Author : Charlotte Becker; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk kemi; Clinical chemistry; screening; prostate cancer; PSA; Human glandular kallikrein; hK2; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Abstract : Human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) is a predominantly prostate produced protein with many similarities to prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Just like for PSA elevated levels of hK2 can be found in men with protate cancer. We created an assay where hK2 in serum could reliably and with negligible cross-reactivity with PSA, be measured down to 0. READ MORE

  6. 4. A microscopic investigation of miR-34c and miR-205 in Prostate Cancer

    Author : Zandra Hagman; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microRNA; prostate cancer; androgen receptor; MET; HGF; miR-34c; miR-205; AGO2-RIP-Chip; noncoding RNA;

    Abstract : The complex genetics of cancer allows tumors to grow and spread undeterred by the control mechanisms of the cell. The importance of protein-coding genes in tumorigenesis is well established. READ MORE

  7. 5. Diabetes mellitus and risk of prostate cancer - A focus on shared risk factors and survivor bias

    Author : Isabel Drake; Nutritionsepidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carbohydrates; cohort; competing risk; diabetes mellitus; diet; epidemiology; fiber; gene; gene-environment; lifestyle; prostate cancer; survivor bias; transcription factor 7-like 2; whole-grain; alkylresorcinol metabolites;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PCa) is a heterogenous disease including very aggressive lethal tumors to incidentally discovered clinically insignificant tumors. Age, ethnicity, and family history are the only established risk factors. READ MORE
