  2. 21. The importance of Cyclophilins and Mps1 in cancer

    Author : Sonia Simon Serrano; Klinisk neurofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cyclophilins; liver; fibrosis; HCC; cell cycle; Mps1 and mitosis;

    Abstract : Hepatic fibrosis is a pathological response to chronic liver injuries such as chronic alcohol consumption, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or chronic viral infections. No antifibrotic compound has been approved for liver fibrosis and if the cause of the chronic injury is not solved, fibrosis can progress to cirrhosis. READ MORE

  4. 22. Biopharmaceutical Evaluation of Intra-arterial Drug-Delivery Systems for Liver Cancer : Investigations in healthy pigs and liver cancer patients

    Author : Elsa Lilienberg; Hans Lennernäs; Erik Sjögren; Niklas Axén; Helen M. Burt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; in vivo release; drug delivery systems; local delivery; drug disposition; doxorubicin; hepatocellular carcinoma; transarterial chemoembolization; transarterial chemotherapy infusion; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap;

    Abstract : There are currently two types of intra-arterial drug-delivery system (DDS) in clinical use in the palliative treatment of primary liver cancer. The chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) can be formulated into a drug-in-lipiodol emulsion (LIPDOX) or a microparticulate drug-eluting bead system (DEBDOX). READ MORE

  5. 23. Curatively Intended Treatment of Colorectal Liver Metastases - Patient, Primary and Metastatic Pattern as Prognostic Factors

    Author : Peter Scherman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Colorectal liver metastases; Prognostic factors; Primary tumor; Resection; Ablation; Postoperative complications; Resectability; Follow-up;

    Abstract : Background: Resection and/or ablation of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is increasingly common and long-term results are improving. In this thesis prognosis of CRLM is studied in a wide perspective, with focus on common clinical factors to consider in preoperative decision making. READ MORE

  6. 24. Liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Different strategies and outcomes

    Abstract : Patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) increasingly undergo liver resections. The belief is that the resection or ablation of a tumor, when possible, is the only possibility of a cure. READ MORE

  7. 25. Studies on the biological functions of interaction between components in Wnt, TGF-β and HIF pathways for cancer progression

    Author : Karthik Aripaka; Maréne Landström; Jonas von Hofsten; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Ruth Palmer; Lars-Gunnar Larsson; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Cancer is a disease that involves aggressive changes in the genome and aberrant signals between the living cells. Signalling pathways such as TGF-β (Transforming growth factor-β), Wnt, EGF (epidermal growth factor) and HIF (Hypoxia-inducible factor) evolved to regulate growth and development in mammals. READ MORE
