  2. 1. Biomarkers aiming at cancer risk estimation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

    Author : Hans Helleberg; Kimmo Peltonen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical Biology; fysikalisk biologi;

    Abstract : Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), a family of compounds that are formed in incomplete combustion of organic matter, occur as general pollutants in air and food. Exposure to PAH is, according to preliminary estimates, associated with non-acceptable cancer risks showing the need for improved data to be used in risk estimation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Copper-transporting proteins and their interactions with platinum-based anticancer substances

    Author : Maria Espling; Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede; Oleg Dmitriev; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cisplatin; Atox1; copper transport; anticancer drug; resistance; platinum; spectroscopy.; biologisk kemi; biological chemistry;

    Abstract :   Cisplatin (CisPt) is an important drug that is used against various cancers, including testicular, ovarian, lung, head, and neck cancer. However, its effects are limited by cellular resistance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Searching for the optimal radiotherapy treatment time, dose and fractionation - the role of hypoxia and reoxygenation : A modelling study

    Author : Emely Lindblom; Iuliana Toma-Dasu; Ingmar Lax; Ludvig Paul Muren; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hypoxia; Reoxygenation; SBRT; Fractionation; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Abstract : The search for the optimal choice of treatment time, dose and fractionation regimen is one of the major challenges in radiation therapy. Several aspects of the radiation response of tumours and normal tissues give different indications of how the parameters defining a fractionation schedule should be altered relative to each other which often results in contradictory conclusions.

  6. 4. Ephrin and Eph-receptor growth factor signaling in non small cell lung cancer : identification of biomarkers and therapeutic targets

    Author : Ghazal Efazat; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the main subtype of lung cancer (LC) and unfortunately it responds very poorly to conventional chemo- and radiotherapy (RT). Moreover, NSCLC is often diagnosed at a stage where metastases are found and only for a limited number of NSCLC tumors targeted therapies can be used as their oncogenic drivers remains elusive.
