  2. 1. Medical interventions and gastric cancer risk : an observational approach

    Author : Katja Fall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Gastric cancer; cardia cancer; histological subtypes; H. pylori; antibiotic treatment; eradication; aspirin; NSAIDs; cholecystectomy; reactive gastritis; cohort; epidemiology;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori infection is undoubtedly the most important risk factor for gastric cancer. A causal relationship with gastric cancer, however, has not been clearly established and the carcinogenic mechanism is still ambiguous. READ MORE

    Author : Anna F Karlsson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lung cancer; histology; non-small cell lung cancer; gene expression; gene fusion; Methylation;

    Abstract : Lung cancer accounts for 1.6 million cancers annually and 1.3 million deaths per year make the disease the deadliest type of cancer. Smoking is the most prominent cause. READ MORE

  5. 3. Significance of polymorphisms in human xenobiotic metabolising enzymes

    Author : Anna-Karin Alexandrie; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cigarette smoke is the primary cause of lung cancer but urban air pollution and certain occupational exposures have also been found to elevate the incidence of lung cancer. These exposures contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which can be metabolically activated to highly reactive compounds capable of binding to DNA and initiating the carcinogenic process unless they are eliminated.

  6. 4. Causes of death and metastatic patterns in Swedish cancer patients

    Author : Matias Riihimäki; Allmänmedicin och klinisk epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis aimed to investigate possibilities to utilize death certificates in cancer epidemiology by analyzing nationwide databases from Sweden. Excessive information is available when investigating causes of death in cancer patients, including comorbidities and metastatic patterns. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aspects of Progression in Breast Carcinoma : from ductal carcinoma in situ to invasive cancer
