  2. 1. Prognostic factors for squamous cell cervical cancer : tumor markers, hormones, smoking, and S-phase fraction

    Author : Annika Lindström; Dan Hellberg; Roger Henriksson; Ulf Stendahl; Sonia Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Cervical cancer; squamous cell carcinoma; sex steroid hormones; smoking; S-phase fraction; tumor markers; LRIG1; prognosis.; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Oncology; onkologi;

    Abstract : Cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy in women worldwide and one of the leading causes of cancer mortality globally. In patients with invasive cervical cancer prognostic factors are of value for the choice of treatment, monitoring of treatment and follow-up. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular profiling for predicting tumor prognosis, treatment outcome and progression of squamous cell carcinoma

    Author : Darawalee Wangsa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histological tumor type in the cervix uteri and oral tongue. Although both cancers are diagnosed at an early stage in the majority of cases, cervical cancer has a better prognosis despite similarities in treatment. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modeling of multi-step oral carcinogenesis in vitro : assessment of growth, differentiation and apoptosis markers

    Author : Annette Hansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Organotypic cultures; apoptosis; terminal squamous differentiation; buccal mucosa; cytokeratins; carcinogenesis; p53;

    Abstract : Human oral mucosa, especially the buccal epithelium, is worldwide a common site for cancer. Cancer development frequently results in inactivation of tumor suppressor p53, a central regulator of growth and programmed cell death, and deregulated expression of structural elements like cytokeratins.

  6. 4. Studies on human papillomavirus and molecular markers in head-neck cancer

    Author : Cecilia Nordfors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), where tonsillar and base of tongue cancer (TSCC and BOTSCC) dominate, is associated with smoking and alcohol as well as human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The incidence of TSCC and BOTSCC, has increased lately, mainly due to HPV infection. READ MORE

  7. 5. High-risk breast cancer: From biology to personalized therapeutic strategies

    Author : Toshima Z Parris; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; breast cancer; outcome prediction; molecular biomarker; 8p11-p12 amplification;

    Abstract : Adjuvant treatment regimens for breast cancer are primarily based on patient- and tumor-related factors, e.g. patient menopausal status, tumor stage and histological grade, and the status of molecular tumor markers (HER2/neu and the estrogen receptor). READ MORE
