1. Invasion and Proliferation in Malignant Cells
Abstract : Two key events in the oncogenic process of tumor cells are to acquire uncontrolled proliferation and invasive properties. This allows the tumor to grow and invade beyond the tissue from which the tumor cells originate. READ MORE

3. Non-coding RNAs and Extracellular Vesicles in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Abstract : Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) ranks among the most widespread malignancies with metastatic potential. Investigating the molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis will enhance our understanding of cSCC. Aberrant expression of non-coding RNAs has been extensively reported in human cancers. READ MORE

4. Towards Personalized Cancer Therapy : New Diagnostic Biomarkers and Radiosensitization Strategies
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the evaluation of biomarkers for radio-immunodiagnostics and radio-immunotherapy and on radiosensitization strategies after HSP90 inhibition, as a step towards more personalized cancer medicine. There is a need to develop new tracers that target cancer-specific biomarkers to improve diagnostic imaging, as well as to combine treatment strategies to potentiate synergistic effects. READ MORE

Though refined surgery and introduction of novel chemotherapeutics have improved outcome, more than 2500 Swedes die from these diseases every year. Novel markers for early diagnosis, prognosis and treatment prediction are therefore needed. READ MORE
