2. 21. Biomarkers in the tumor microenvironment with impact on treatment response and survival in head and neck cancer

   Author : Nataša Matić; Karin Roberg; Emilia Wiechec; Marcus Ressner; Lovisa Farnebo; Marika Nestor; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer type worldwide and disease detects at a locally advanced stage in approximately 60% of all patients with HNSCC. Despite the advances in both diagnosis and treatment of cancer, therapy failure with local recurrence and second primary tumors as consequences is still a huge problem. READ MORE

4. 22. Circulating Biomarkers in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer and the Influence of Cigarette Smoking

   Author : Bengt-Åke Andersson; Nongnit Laytragoon-Lewin; Pierre Åman; Charlotta Dabrosin; Mikael Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a collective name for heterogeneous tumors located in the head and neck regions for which smoking, alcohol and human papillomavirus (HPV) are documented risk factors. The survival of HNC patients has only improved marginally during the last decade. READ MORE

5. 23. Studies on the occurrence and effects of human papillomavirus in tumors of the head and neck

   Author : David Lindquist; Tina Dalianis; Sonia Andersson; Karolinska Institutet Institutionen för onkologi-patologi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; onkologi; Oncology;

   Abstract : The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) was first reported in 1985. Since then, this association has been studied intensively and today there is substantial evidence for HPV as a causative agent and positive prognostic factor for clinical outcome in tonsillar cancer, but the association to other HNSCC is still unclear.

6. 24. 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; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TRAF6; HIF-1α; HIF-2α; HIF-3α; ALK5; Wnt3a; Hypoxic signalling; TGF-β; zebrafish; β-Catenin; Pathology; patologi; Oncology; onkologi;

   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.

7. 25. Antibody-Based Radionuclide Targeting for Diagnostics and Therapy : Preclinical Studies on Head and Neck Cancer

   Author : Marika Nestor; Matti Anniko; Jörgen Carlsson; Hans Lundqvist; Vladimir Tolmachev; Matthew Robinson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Otorhinolaryngology; antibodies; radionuclide targeting; tumour targeting; therapy; diagnostics; immuno-PET; head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; Otorhinolaryngologi;

   Abstract : Antibody-based targeting techniques play an increasingly important role in cancer research. By targeting a structure that is abundant in tumour cells, but rare in healthy tissues, an antibody can mediate the delivery of radioactivity specifically to tumour cells in the body. READ MORE
