2. 1. New preclinical strategies for characterization and development of anticancer drugs

   Author : Henning Karlsson; Peter Nygren; Rolf Larsson; Mattias Belting; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; spheroids; green fluorescent protein; VLX50; VLX60; VLX600; nitazoxanide; radiation; radiosensitizer; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Abstract : Increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development has shifted drug discovery towards target driven drug development the last decades, but the development of effective cancer drugs has been hampered by the lack of predictive preclinical models. 3-D cultures, considered to more accurately reflect solid tumors in vivo, have been proposed as one way to increase the predictability of clinical efficacy in cancer drug discovery and development.

4. 2. Förbättrad radionuklidterapi av neuroblastom

   Author : Arman Romiani; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radionuclide therapy; Neuroblastoma; Somatostatin analog; 177Lu-octreotate; 177Lu-octreotide; Lorlatinib; Combination therapy; Radiosensitizer;

   Abstract : Today, about half of the children diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) survive due to considerable treatment improvements during the last decades. However, there is still much to be done for the other half who are not cured with current treatments. READ MORE

5. 3. Repair of DNA double-stranded breaks in human cells

   Author : Susanne Nyström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DNA-PK; DNA double-stranded break; DSB; DNA single-stranded break; SSB; DNA damage; ionizing radiation; IR; DNA repair; calicheamicin gamma1; bleomycin; etoposide; topoisomerase II; radiotherapy; radiosensitizer; ATM;

   Abstract : DNA is continuously subjected to degradation. Therefore, our cells need to constantly repair its DNA to prevent mutations and in the long run cancer. In mammalian cells, when DNA is broken right off, a double-stranded break (DSB) is produced, and the ends are ligated by a process called non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). READ MORE

6. 4. Recognition and signaling of DNA double-strand breaks in human cells

   Author : Ismail Hassan Ismail; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : DNA-PK; DNA double-strand break; DSB; DNA single-strand break; SSB; DNA damage; ionizing radiation; IR; DNA repair; calicheamicin kappa1; ATM; hydrogen peroxide; H2AX; radiotherapy; radiosensitizer; flow cytometry;

   Abstract : DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most toxic type of DNA damage. Fortunately, our cells have highly conserved pathways that detect and repair DSBs. Defects in DSB signaling and DSB repair pathways result in genomic instability that predisposes for cancer development. READ MORE

7. 5. Targeted radiotherapy in metastatic neuroendocrine tumours: clinical and experimental studies

   Author : Anna-Karin Elf; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuroendocrine tumour; peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; somatostatin receptor 2 expression; radiosensitization; radioembolization; diffusion weighted imaging;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) often present at a metastatic stage, which diminishes the possibility for curative surgery. Peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE targets somatostatin receptors, which are overexpressed on NET cells. PRRT results in symptom relief and often tumour control of NETs, but rarely cure. READ MORE
