  2. 1. Precision medicine and targeted therapy : Turning the tables on cancer

    Author : Anja Mortensen; Marika Nestor; Gregory Adams; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : p53 cancers; PM2; radiosensitization; radio-immunotherapy; MDM2 X inhibition; combination therapy; targeted radionuclide therapy; CD44v6; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : An extended understanding of the molecular characteristics of cancer has led to a revolution within the field of precision medicine. This thesis explores the utilization of two targets for precision medicine, namely, CD44v6 and murine double-minute 2 and X (MDM2/X). READ MORE

  4. 2. Strategies for optimisation of 177Lu-octreotate therapy – exploring local administration and combination therapy regimens

    Author : Viktor Sandblom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; PRRT; 177Lu-octreotate; Neuroendocrine tumours; Optimisation; Local administration; Combination therapy;

    Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a group of heterogeneous tumour types that originate in hormone-producing organs. Patients with NETs are often diagnosed after the primary tumour has metastasised. READ MORE

    Abstract : It has been shown that simultaneous administration of two or more anticancer agents can have a beneficial effect on cancer patients. This type of treatment is called combination therapy and is nowadays commonly used in the fight against cancer. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pharmacometrics for Combination Therapy in Oncology Within and Across Species Variability in Time Series and Time-to-event Data

    Author : Marcus Baaz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mathematical Modeling; Pharmacometrics; Nonlinear Mixed Effects; Oncology; Combination Therapy; Radiation Therapy;

    Abstract : Mathematical modeling is an integral part of the drug development process. Models are developed to describe tumor dynamics or drug concentration to answer questions such as: What concentration is required to reach the desirable treatment outcome? What drug dose and frequency should a drug prescription specify to achieve this concentration? Models are also used for simulation, reducing the need to perform additional animal trials. READ MORE
