    Abstract : Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide as well as in Sweden. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the predominant form, which is largely subdivided into adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. READ MORE

  4. 2. Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analysis of Tumor Markers in Tissue and Blood from Patients with Lung Cancer

    Author : Dijana Djureinovic; Patrick Micke; Keith Kerr; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : non-small cell lung cancer; prognostic biomarkers; cancer-testis antigens; prediction model; tumor markers; autoantibodies; testis; screening; Patologi; Pathology;

    Abstract : Despite recent treatment advancements, the survival outcome remains poor for the majority of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this thesis was to evaluate protein expression to predict prognosis and identify biomarkers that can be used as targets for immunotherapy or for early detection of NSCLC. READ MORE

  5. 3. Severe and moderate alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency at the age of 30

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Cardiac surgery is performed to improve prognosis, relieve symptoms and increase functional capacity in patients with cardiac disease. Postoperative pulmonary complications are common after cardiac surgery and a reduced lung function can persist a long time after surgery. READ MORE
