  2. 1. RNA Sequencing for Molecular Diagnostics in Breast Cancer

    Author : Christian Brueffer; Translational Oncogenomics; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cancer; Breast Cancer; RNA sequencing; Gene Expression; Mutation; Biomarker; SCAN-B; Diagnostics; Precision Medicine;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and, in Sweden, is the most deadly second only to lung cancer. While treatment and diagnostic options have improved in the past decades and short- to mid-term survival is good, long-term survival is much poorer. READ MORE

  4. 2. Clinical significance of immunohistochemistry in breast cancer diagnostics

    Author : Slavica Janeva; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; breast cancer biomarkers; immunohistochemistry; surrogate subtype; RT- qPCR; multifocal breast cancer; lymph node metastasis; triple-negative breast cancer; older women;

    Abstract : For patients with breast cancer, modern patient-tailored treatment depends on tumor- specific characteristics, i.e., estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2), and the proliferation marker Ki67. READ MORE

  5. 3. Integration of Molecular Biology and Morphology in Effusions with Focus on in situ Detection of Telomerase and its Components

    Author : Nooreldin Zendehrokh; Malmö Patologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pathological anatomy; Patologi allmän ; patologisk anatomi; Diagnostics; Diagnostik; cancer; TRAP in situ; onkologi; Cytologi; cancerology; oncology; Cytology; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; General pathology; Telomerase;

    Abstract : Clinical cytology is a rapid method to detect malignancy in effusions of the serous cavities, but the morphological characteristics of the cells do not always allow diagnosis and a specific marker for malignant cells would improve the diagnostic performance. Telomerase adds telomere repeats to the chromosome ends. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genetic characterization of malignant melanoma and breast cancer

    Author : Göran B Jönsson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; Cytology; microarray; inherited breast cancer; Melanoma; linkage analysis; cancer; Cytologi; cancerology; onkologi;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma and breast cancer are common malignant diseases characterized by considerable heterogeneity with respect to genetics, histopathology, biology and clinical course. In breast cancer, two major susceptibility genes have been identified, BRCA1 and BRCA2, which account for a significant proportion of high-risk breast cancer families. READ MORE

  7. 5. Endometrial Cancer - Studies on recurrences, complications and preoperative diagnostics

    Author : Åsa Åkesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; endometrial cancer; lymphadenectomy; recurrence; survival; surgical complications; diagnostic accuracy;

    Abstract : Introduction: The most common gynecological cancer is Endometrial Cancer (EC). The prognosis is generally favorable, mainly due to an early diagnosis. However, there are subgroups of EC with a higher risk for metastases and recurrences resulting in poorer survival. READ MORE
