2. 21. Immune modulation in serous epithelial ovarian cancer : focus on the role of tumor-derived exosomes

   Author : Alireza Labani Motlagh; Lucia Mincheva-Nilsson; Ola Winqvist; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ovarian cancer; EOC; HGSC; exosomes; NKG2D; MICA B; ULBP; DNAM-1; PVR; nectin-2; lncRNAs; immune suppression; anti-tumor immunity; NK-cell cytotoxicity; cytokines; Th1; Th2; T regulatory response; inflammation; tumor microenvironment;

   Abstract : Serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a potent suppressor of the immune defense. Here, we studied interactions between EOC and the immune system that lead to escape from tumor immune surveillance. READ MORE

   Abstract : Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Sweden, as well as worldwide. In Sweden, 8,288 women were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2019, out of whom approximately 1.5% were younger than 35 years of age. READ MORE

5. 23. Register studies of cancer in the Southern Health Care Region in Sweden

   Author : Bo Attner; Medicinsk onkologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer risk; epidemiology; incidence; comorbidity; survival; partner; health care costs; population-based register study;

   Abstract : The overall aim was to study different aspect of health care use and health care costs on a population based level for persons with cancer and their partners, and from an individual level to explore the impact of comorbidities in incidence and survival. In the beginning of the study all persons in the Southern Health Care Region in Sweden diagnosed with colon, rectal, breast, prostate and lung cancer during the period 2000 to 2005 were identified via the Swedish Cancer Register.

6. 24. The role of RNA-binding motif 3 in epithelial ovarian cancer: A biomarker discovery approach

   Author : Åsa Ehlén; Malmö Patologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DNA integrity checkpoint; cisplatin treatment; prognostic predictive marker; RBM3; epithelial ovarian cancer; Chk1; Chk2; MCM3;

   Abstract : Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal of all gynaecological malignancies and there is an urgent need to develop new prognostic and treatment predictive biomarkers for a more efficient therapy. The discovery of the RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) as a putative cancer biomarker was based on its differential expression in various cancer forms in the Human Protein Atlas (HPA). READ MORE

7. 25. The effect of intra-abdominal local anaesthetics following major gynaecological surgery. Clinical and experimental studies

   Author : Jane M. Hayden; Göteborgs universitet; []
