16. Mechanisms behind growth of castration-resistant prostate cancer bone metastases
Abstract : Background: The first-line treatment for patients with advanced prostate cancer (PC) is androgen deprivation therapy. This therapy is initially effective, but after some time tumors relapse, predominantly within the bone, and are then termed castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). READ MORE

18. Genomic characterization of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia by deep sequencing
Abstract : Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children, with close to 200 cases per year in the Nordic countries. Despite recent advances in modern chemotherapies, 20% of the ALL patients experience a relapse. READ MORE

19. Genetic studies of acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Abstract : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric malignancy, comprising approximately 25% of all childhood cancers. A huge improvement in outcome of children with ALL during the last 20 years has resulted in remission rates exceeding 95% and a 5 year event-free-survival approaching 80%. READ MORE

20. Extracting Genomic Variations using Selector Technology
Abstract : This thesis describes the development and use of a new class of molecular tools called Selector probes, and its potential for investigations of genetic variation. The Selector technology provides multiplex amplification of targeted DNA sequences with a high specificity, and an enrichment factor in the same order of magnitude as PCR. READ MORE
