2. 1. Cyclin E overexpression and associated events in human breast cancer

   Author : Maria Stighall; Malmö Patologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; patologisk anatomi; Patologi allmän ; pathological anatomy; General pathology; tumour growth pattern; invasion; proliferation; ID2; cyclin E; pRb; cell cycle; breast cancer;

   Abstract : Unrestrained proliferation is a hallmark of cancer and genetic defects within G1/S-phase regulation and the pRb pathway occur frequently. Proliferation control can be circumvented either by excess cyclin D1 or cyclin E, alterations that can define two alternative tumour biologic pathways in breast cancer. READ MORE

4. 2. Prognostic and Treatment Predictive Markers Associated with Cyclin D1 Gene Amplification and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer

   Author : Katja Lundgren; Malmö Patologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; beta-arrestin1; Chk1; Breast Cancer; Tamoxifen; prognostic marker; predictive marker; gene amplification; cyclin D1; EMT; Snail; hypoxia;

   Abstract : Endocrine resistant breast cancer is a major therapeutical challenge and accurate selection of patients susceptible to certain types of anti-hormonal treatment strategies is pivotal. Discovery of novel biomarkers potentially predicting treatment response as well as the clinical course of breast cancer is essential to effectively improve therapies and diagnosis. READ MORE

5. 3. 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

6. 4. The Polyamine Dependence of Cell Cycle Progression-Application in Breast Cancer Treatment

   Author : Louise Myhre; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tissue culture; histochemistry; Histology; cytochemistry; onkologi; cancer; Cytologi; oncology; cancerology; Cytology; cell cycle kinetics; cell cycle regulatory proteins; polyamine analogues; DENSPM; CGP48664; DFMO; cell cycle regulation; Polyamines; breast cancer; Djurfysiologi; Animal physiology; vävnadskultur; Histologi; cytokemi; histokemi;

   Abstract : In the normal functioning organism, there is a balance between cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell death. An imbalance in these processes results in different diseases. This thesis concerns the imbalance where there is too little cell death and cell differentiation with increased cell proliferation. READ MORE

7. 5. The role of RNA-binding motif 3 in epithelial ovarian cancer: A biomarker discovery approach

   Author : Åsa Ehlén; Malmö Patologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DNA integrity checkpoint; cisplatin treatment; prognostic predictive marker; RBM3; epithelial ovarian cancer; Chk1; Chk2; MCM3;

   Abstract : Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal of all gynaecological malignancies and there is an urgent need to develop new prognostic and treatment predictive biomarkers for a more efficient therapy. The discovery of the RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) as a putative cancer biomarker was based on its differential expression in various cancer forms in the Human Protein Atlas (HPA). READ MORE
