6. Novel aspects of the molecular biology of gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Abstract : The gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor in the gastrointestinal tract (GI). Historically, these tumors were commonly mistaken for myogenic and neurogenic masses, and then eventually came to be recognized as a distinct type of soft-tissue sarcoma through ultrastructural findings and specific immunomarkers.

7. Translational investigations of novel and current antitumoral therapies in gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Abstract : Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common human sarcoma. Its incidence is around 10-15 per million person-years, translating into 150 new cases each year in Sweden. READ MORE

8. In vitro studies on intestinal epithelial cell proliferation : effects of cytokines, Helicobacter pylori, serotonin and neuroendocrine peptides
Abstract : Previous studies suggest that bacteria and bacterial metabolites, proinflammatory cytokines, neuroendocrine peptides and amines may participate in the regulation of the gastrointestinal-epithelial cell kinetics. The complexity of interactions that take place in vivo makes it difficult to define the primary actions of these and other agents on gastrointestinal cell proliferation. READ MORE

9. Therapy of neuroendocrine tumors with 177Lu-octreotate - Human tumor cell types and models and optimization of treatment : Terapi av neuroendokrina tumörer med 177Lu-octreotate
Abstract : Neuroendocrine (NE) tumors (NET) have often metastasized at the time of diagnose, which makes it hard to cure patients with NET. Radiolabeled hormone analogues (especially somatostatin analogues, SS) can be used for diagnostics (e.g. 111In-octreotide) and therapy (e. READ MORE

10. Anthracyclines : Toxicity and chemotherapy-induced mucositis
Abstract : Anthracyclines belong to a class of cytostatic compounds that are commonly used to treat various types of cancers, including lymphoma, breast cancer and primary liver cancer. The aim of this thesis was to study how two anthracyclines, doxorubicin and idarubicin, induced cytotoxicity in tumor cells, as well as their off-target effect on the gastrointestinal system.
