21. Affibody-Based Molecular Imaging and Targeted Therapy of HER3-Expressing Cancer
Abstract : The human epidermal growth factor receptor type 3 (HER3) is overexpressed in different types of cancer and is a known contributor to disease progression and resistance to cancer therapy. This thesis is based on five original articles, which aimed to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of affibody-based agents for management of HER3-expressing cancers. READ MORE

22. Mangafodipir trisodium (MnDPDP)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the liver and pancreas
Abstract : Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver and pancreas is frequently performed to improve the sensitivity and specificity of lesion detection in these organs. The concept of using tissue-specific contrast media is to selectively enhance the normal parenchyma, but not lesions, so that the contrast between tumorous and normal tissue is increased, and lesion detectability improved.

23. Alpha-radioimmunotherapy with At-211: Evaluations and imaging on normal tissues and tumors
Abstract : Alpha-radioimmunotherapy (alpha-RIT) is an internal conformal radiotherapy at the cellular level using alpha-particle emitting radionuclides. Alpha-particles have a very short range in tissues (... READ MORE

24. HER2-receptor quantification in breast cancer patients by imaging with ABY-025 Affibody and PET
Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in up to 20% of breast cancer cases and is considered an important prognostic factor and a therapeutic target. READ MORE

25. Super resolution fluorescence imaging : analyses, simulations and applications
Abstract : Fluorescence methods offer extraordinary sensitivity and specificity, and are extensively used in the life sciences. In recent years, super resolution fluorescence imaging techniques have developed strongly, uniquely combining ~10 nm sub diffraction resolution and specific labeling with high efficiency. READ MORE
