2. 1. Hunting a Silent Killer. Biomolecular Approaches in Ovarian Cancer

   Author : Nicolai Arildsen; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ovarian cancer; Molecular biology; genetic variant; TP53 mutation; early detection; Drug Screening Assays; Antitumor; bioinformatics; next generation sequencing; NGS; prognostic and predictive biomarkers; ovarian clear cell cancer; high-grade serous ovarian cancer;

   Abstract : Ovarian cancer is a heterogeneous disease and recent advances in improving patient outcome havebeen limited. It is estimated that a woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 1 in 70, making it a frequently occurring cancer type in women. READ MORE

4. 2. Intrinsic subtypes and prognostic implications in epithelial ovarian cancer

   Author : Jenny-Maria Jönsson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ovarian cancer; gene expression profiling; Lynch syndrome; targeted deep sequencing; chromatin remodeling; molecular subtypes; endocrine receptors; prognostic factors; tumor heterogeneity;

   Abstract : Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer in women globally, with approximately 240,000 new cases annually. Although a rare disease, it is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Unspecific symptoms result in late diagnosis and a generally poor prognosis. READ MORE

5. 3. Towards improved management of Lynch syndrome; ovarian cancer profiles, risk perception, knowledge and family perspectives

   Author : Katarina Bartuma; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ovarian cancer; Lynch syndrome; family relations; communication; interview; genetic knowledge; risk perception; questionnaire; gene expression profiling; array CGH; hereditary breast and ovarian cancer; mismatch repair;

   Abstract : Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer) is one of the most common hereditary cancer syndromes and predisposes to several cancer types, including cancer of the colorectum, endometrium and ovaries. Cancer develops at an early age and one third of the individuals are affected by a metachronous cancer. READ MORE

6. 4. Register studies of cancer in the Southern Health Care Region in Sweden

   Author : Bo Attner; Medicinsk onkologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer risk; epidemiology; incidence; comorbidity; survival; partner; health care costs; population-based register study;

   Abstract : The overall aim was to study different aspect of health care use and health care costs on a population based level for persons with cancer and their partners, and from an individual level to explore the impact of comorbidities in incidence and survival. In the beginning of the study all persons in the Southern Health Care Region in Sweden diagnosed with colon, rectal, breast, prostate and lung cancer during the period 2000 to 2005 were identified via the Swedish Cancer Register.

7. 5. Novel biomarkers associated with histotype and clinical outcome in early-stage ovarian carcinoma

   Author : Hanna Engqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ovarian carcinoma; histotype-specific diagnosis and prognosis; molecular biomarker; outcome prediction; integrative analysis;

   Abstract : Ovarian cancer is a collective name for multiple malignancies deriving from or involving the ovary, mainly comprising five histotypes of epithelial origin (clear-cell (CCC), endometrioid (EC), high-grade serous (HGSC), low-grade serous (LGSC), and mucinous carcinomas (MC)) with varying clinical (e.g. READ MORE
