2. 1. Profiling of Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Tumors

   Author : Ellinor Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; small intestine neuroendocrine tumor; somatic copy number alteration; expression profiling; APLP1; survival; targeted therapy;

   Abstract : Small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) are malignant neoplasms usually presenting with disseminated disease and symptoms of hormone overproduction. Radical surgery is curative but can only be performed for localized disease. For most patients the disease follows a progressive and fatal course. READ MORE

4. 2. Novel Circulating and Tissue Biomarkers for Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Tumors and Lung Carcinoids

   Abstract : Small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) and lung carcinoids (LCs) are relatively indolent tumors, which originate from neuroendocrine (NE) cells of the diffuse NE system. Metastases can spread before diagnosis. Thus, potential cures become unavailable, which entitles new biomarker development. READ MORE

5. 3. Vesicle proteins as markers for neuroendocrine tumors

   Author : Anne-Marie Levin Jakobsen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Neuroendocrine tumours; gastrointestinal tract; pancreas; adrenal; vesicle proteins; ; SV2; NESP55; VMAT1; VMAT2; MIBG;

   Abstract : The neuroendocrine (NE) tumours comprise a diversity of tumours which share commonproperties, e.g. the capacity to produce, store and release hormones. A prominent feature ofthe NE phenotype is the production of secretory granules with associated vescicle proteins,e. READ MORE

6. 4. lmprovement of 177Lu-octreotate treatment of small-intestine neuroendocrine tumors by hyperfractionation

   Author : Mikael Elvborn; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; PRRT; somatostatin receptor; SSTR; apoptosis; gene expression; epigenetic effects;

   Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumor incidence is steadily rising, and the late diagnosis often results in metastatic disease and current treatments mostly prolong life and in-crease quality of life without increasing cure rate. 177Lu-octreotate was recently approved for treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, but the dosage scheme should be optimized.

7. 5. Lutetium-177-octreotate treatment of small intestine neuroendocrine tumors - Radiation biology as basis for optimization

   Author : Johan Spetz; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; PRRT; somatostatin receptors; SSTR; midgut carcinoid; radiogenomics;

   Abstract : Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) often have metastatic spread at the time of diagnosis. NETs frequently express somatostatin receptors (SSTR) that can be targeted by radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (e.g. 177Lu-octreotate). READ MORE
