2. 1. Exploring vitamin D and steroid hormone receptors – from healthy elderly to prostate cancer cells

   Author : Maria Araceli Diaz Cruz; Maria Faresjö; Dennis Larsson Dennis Larsson; Johan Staaf; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vitamin D; steroid hormone receptors; lifestyle; methylation; SNPs; healthy elderly; prostate cancer cells; crosstalk; PDIA3;

   Abstract : The genetic background together with environmental factors and lifestyle are key contributors to the health of an individual. Genetic background is inherited and irreversible unless mutations occur. However, lifestyle habits (i.e. READ MORE

4. 2. Recurrent Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

   Author : Sigurdur Gudjonsson; Urologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; early instillation; biopsies; biomarkers; recurrence; bladder cancer; non-muscle-invasive; tissue microarray; gene-expression;

   Abstract : A characteristic feature of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the high risk of recurrent disease after primary treatment. Although only a minority of cases eventually progress to a life-threatening muscle-invasive tumour, it is necessary to conduct long-term follow-up with repeated cystoscopies. READ MORE

5. 3. Male Subfertility and Prostate Cancer Risk: Epidemiological and Genetic Studies

   Author : Yasir Ruhayel; Malmö Molekylärgenetisk reproduktionsmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytoplasmic and nuclear; Receptors; Prostatic neoplasms; genetic; Polymorphism; male; Infertility; Hypogonadism; Genetic association studies; Case–control studies; Androgens;

   Abstract : Androgen action plays a pivotal role in male reproductive tract physiology and pathology. The androgen receptor (AR) gene harbors two codon repeat tracts: the CAG and GGN repeats, encoding corresponding amino acid sequences of variable length; the polyglutamine and polyglycine stretches, respectively.

6. 4. INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER - Aspects on staging and prognosis

   Author : Fredrik Liedberg; Urologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nephrology; Urology; prognosis; invasive bladder cancer; staging; Urologi; nefrologi;

   Abstract : Background: The difficulty of determining the prognosis for the individual patient with invasive bladder cancer is a major clinical problem. Currently, decisions regarding therapy are mainly based on tumour stage and grade, the first of which is notoriously demanding to ascertain. READ MORE

7. 5. Regulatory Proteins in Progenitors and Differentiated Cells of the Human Prostate

   Author : Jens Ceder; Malmö (Abrahamsson) Urologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mesenchymal stem cells; somatostatin; transit amplifying cells; cell differentiation; adult stem cells; Prostate gland; prostatic benign hyperplasia; neuroendocrine cells; prostate cancer;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer (PC) develops from an androgen-dependent tissue that contains androgen receptors in both the stromal and glandular compartments. Surgical removal of the prostate may cure the patient, but if metastatic spread has occurred, androgen suppression therapy is the standard treatment. READ MORE
