2. Improving the diagnostic armamentarium of lung cancer
Abstract : Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death globally, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constituting 85% of cases. The introduction of immunotherapies and targeted therapies have dramatically improved the prognosis and outcome for a subset of patients, and stressed the development of diagnostic tools for effective patient selection.

3. Novel Circulating and Tissue Biomarkers for Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Tumors and Lung Carcinoids
Abstract : Small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) and lung carcinoids (LCs) are relatively indolent tumors, which originate from neuroendocrine (NE) cells of the diffuse NE system. Metastases can spread before diagnosis. Thus, potential cures become unavailable, which entitles new biomarker development. READ MORE

4. Lung Metastases - Diagnostic, Prognostic and Molecular Aspects with Focus on Colorectal Cancer
Abstract : In Sweden 4200 patients are diagnosed with lung cancer and 6500 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) annually. The lungs are a common site for metastases. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a helpful aid in diagnostics of a pulmonary tumour. READ MORE

5. An integrative strategy for targeted evaluation of biomarker expression in non-small cell lung cancer
Abstract : Despite improvements in therapy, the prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains poor, and cure is only possible in localized tumors after surgical resection. A new generation of targeted cancer drugs has led to the expectation that lung cancer therapy can be significantly improved, but these drugs are today only an option in a small subset of NSCLC patients, and their effect is temporary.
