2. 6. Angiogenesis in human renal cell carcinoma : hypoxia, vascularity and prognosis

   Author : Johanna Sandlund; Torgny Rasmuson; Börje Ljungberg; Kjell Grankvist; Anders Bergh; Elisabeth Kjellén; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endoglin CD105; CD31; prognosis; CA IX; HIF-2α; renal cell carcinoma; tissue microarray; immunohistochemistry; real-time PCR; stage; grade; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Abstract : Background: Angiogenesis is recognised as a critical step in tumour progression. The angiogenic switch is activated by various trigger signals, such as hypoxia, low pH, and genetic mutations. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is often an aggressive tumour, and advanced disease has limited treatment options and bad prognosis. READ MORE

   Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a common malignancy worldwide, affects 1200 new patients yearly in Sweden. Metastatic RCC (mRCC) develops in one in three and is commonly incurable. Clear cell histology dominates followed by papillary histology. READ MORE

6. 9. Diet and renal cell carcinoma

   Author : Bahram Rashidkhani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents 80-85% of all tumors of the kidney and is responsible for about 2% of all cancer deaths in developed countries. Its incidence varies among countries, among migrants, and by socioeconomic status suggesting that environmental factors play a major etiological role. READ MORE

7. 10. Neuropilin-1 regulation of tumor vascularization and growth

   Author : Eric Morin; Lena Claesson-Welsh; Hellmut Augustin; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones, is dysregulated during tumor progression as a result of chronic hypoxia and inflammation. Such alterations lead to a lack of vessel hierarchy, and the formation of poorly perfused, leaky and blunt-ended vessels, contributing to disease progression. READ MORE
