   Keywords : synovial sarcoma; prognosis; tumor size; poorly differentiated; histologic grading; Ki-67; proliferation; CGH; secondary aberrations; RT-PCR; translocation; SYT-SSX1 SYT-SSX2;

   Abstract : Synovial sarcoma accounts for 5 to 10 % of all soft tissue sarcomas. More than 90 % are found in the extremities or trunk wall. Characteristic for synovial sarcoma is the translocation t(X; 18) (p11.2;q11. READ MORE

4. 2. Ovarian tumors. Prevalence, malignancy risk and significance of the Plasminogen activation system

   Abstract : The aims were to assess the prevalence of ovarian tumors in fertile asymptomatic women and to evaluate the risk of ovarian cancer in women with a history of benign ovarian tumors and endometriosis. In order to search for biomarkers in ovarian tumors, the plasminogen activating (PA) system was studied. READ MORE

   Abstract : The significance of the hormonal milieu for endometrial changes is as well-known as its link with endometrial carcinoma. Unopposed oestradiol treatment is shown to increase the incidence for this cancer. Obesity leads to elevated levels of oestrogens and is a risk factor for endometrial carcinoma. READ MORE

6. 4. The Plasminogen Activation System in Human Endometrium and Endometrial Cancer; Function, Tissue Localization and Prognostic Importance

   Author : Johanna Nordengren; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []

   Abstract : The release of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) from endometrial stromal cells decreased after progesterone stimulation, due to upregulation of PA inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and uPA receptor (uPAR). Subsequently, the uPA:PAI-1 complex was internalized and degraded via uPAR. READ MORE
