2. 6. Early Prostate Cancer, On prognostic markers and predictors of treatment outcome after radical prostatectomy

   Author : Ali Khatami; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Prostate cancer; PSA doubling time; Active surveillanceradical; Radical prostatectomy; Angiogenesis; Ki-67;

   Abstract : The incidence of prostate cancer (PC) has increased by 4.6% annually in Sweden during the past ten years. Today?s clinically used prognostic markers are not accurate enough to separate the potentially life-threatening tumours from the insignificant ones in 50-80% of newly diagnosed PCs. READ MORE

   Abstract : The natural history of localized prostate cancer is not fully understood. In most patients the tumor will never progress to a lethal disease, while a subset of patients will ultimately die of the disease. READ MORE

5. 8. Prognostic and predictive factors in laryngeal cancer treated with radiotherapy

   Author : Hedda Haugen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Laryngeal cancer; accelerated radiotherapy; predictive factors; pre-radiotherapy hemoglobin level; MVD; p53; Ki-67; EGFr; histopathologic differentiation.;

   Abstract : Radiotherapy (RT) and surgery are the only two curative treatments for patients with laryngeal cancer (LC). RT has the advantage that it offers a possibility to preserve a functioning larynx and hence a functioning normal voice. The response of tumors to RT is heterogeneous, even within the same tumor stage. READ MORE

6. 9. Apoptosis, proliferation, and sex steroid receptors in endometrium and endometrial carcinoma

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the involvement of apoptosis and proliferation in the mechanisms of menstruation and hormonal replacement therapy, HRT, as well as in the mechanisms of progesterone therapy in endometrial carcinoma. The aim of the first study was to investigate endometrium for 4 days before and for 2 days during menstruation. READ MORE

   Abstract : The incidence of breast cancer is rising steadily in Sweden and the proportion of carcinoma in situ (CIS) has increased appreciably, most likely due to mammography screening. The aim of this study was twofold: (1) to examine risk factors for subsequent invasive breast carcinoma and breast cancer death after primary ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and (2) to study the biology in the progress between in situ and invasive carcinoma.
