  2. 6. Oncolytic Adenovirus Therapy of Neuroendocrine Tumors

    Author : Justyna Leja; Magnus Essand; Valeria Giandomenico; Akseli Hemminki; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adenovirus; virotherapy; oncolytic virus; neuroendocrine tumors; chromogranin A; somatostatin receptors; microRNA; novel biomarkers; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Virology; Virologi; Tumour biology; Tumörbiologi; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap; Oncology; Onkologi; Medical Virology; Medicinsk virologi; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), originally described as carcinoids, represent a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms associated with intensive secretion of hormones, bioactive peptides and amines. Most of the patients are diagnosed at a late stage of disease, often with liver metastases. READ MORE

  4. 7. Expression of Neuroendocrine Markers in Normal and Neoplastic Tissue with an Emphasis on Ghrelin and Obestatin

    Author : Malin Grönberg; Eva Tiensuu Janson; Apostolos Tsolakis; Jan Saras; Mauro Papotti; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ghrelin; obestatin; neuroendocrine marker; immunohistochemistry; neuroendocrine tumors; breast cancer; mammary glands; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi; Endocrinology and Diabetology;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to characterize the expression of the peptides ghrelin and obestatin, as well as other neuroendocrine markers in human normal tissues, in invasive breast cancer and a wide panel of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). In normal tissues the expression of ghrelin and obestatin was mainly localized to the gastric mucosa, and in lesser extent in the remaining gastrointestinal tract, endocrine pancreas and mammary glands.

  5. 8. Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors : Clinical Studies, Novel Serum Biomarkers and Sensitivity to Cytotoxic and Targeted Agents

    Author : Kosmas Daskalakis; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Olov Norlén; Robert Bränström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SI-NET; fibrosis; locoregional surgery; liver transplantation; biomarkers; ex vivo sensitivity.;

    Abstract : Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors (SI-NETs) are indolent neoplasms with an increasing annual incidence of approximately 1/100 000 people. They are often diagnosed at a late stage, restricting treatment efficacy. READ MORE

  6. 9. Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours : Genetic and Epigenetic Studies and Novel Serum Biomarkers

    Author : Katarina Edfeldt; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Gunnar Westin; Malin Sund; Endokrinkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SI-NET; microarray; tumour suppressor gene; epigenetic; serum biomarkers; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) are rare, hormone producing and proliferate slowly. Patients usually display metastases at time of diagnosis, the tumours are difficult to cure, and the disease course is unpredictable. READ MORE

  7. 10. Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor Analyses : Somatostatin Analog Effects and MicroRNA Profiling

    Author : Su-Chen Li; Valeria Giandomenico; Kjell Öberg; Marco Volante; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors; Somatostatin analogs; Laser-capture microdissection; Microarray profiling and microRNA profiling; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) originate from serotonin-producing enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the intestinal mucosa. Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) are mainly used to control hormonal secretion and tumor growth. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to the control of SI-NETs are unknown. READ MORE
