  2. 16. Wnt5a signaling in Malignant Melanoma

    Author : Elin Ekström; Malmö Experimentell patologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The Wnt signaling pathway is highly conserved and crucial during embryonic development. Aberrant Wnt signaling is important in several different disease processes. One such disease process is the development and progression of cancer. Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive tumor type, in which Wnt signaling is essential. READ MORE

  4. 17. Immunological Studies in Malignant Melanoma : Importance of TNF and the Thioredoxin System

    Author : Anna-Maria Barral; Anders Rosén; R. Kiessling; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma is a tumor whose incidence is dramatically increasing in persons with light-coloured skin in all parts of the world. Due to its resistance against traditional chemo- and radiotherapy, melanoma has been a favourite target of alternative therapies, in particular those involving immunological mechanisms. READ MORE

  5. 18. Cutaneous malignant melanoma : body site, sun exposure, genetic factors and prognosis

    Author : Daniela Gordon; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Melanoma;

    Abstract : Background: The interplay between tumor site, ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure, genetic factors and various epidemiological parameters of cutaneous melanoma is complex. In this thesis, we aimed to investigate the impact of detailed body site of the primary tumor beyond the conventional and strictly anatomic division of the head-neck, trunk, upper- and lower extremities, focusing on body site division according to UVR exposure patterns in relation to risk, outcome and other factors.
