A. Early detection of systemic relapses in breast cancer. WP 1. Analysis of primary tumor. Analysis of primary tumor and metastases (Pathology group). In this work package both DNA and RNA from the primary tumors of 125 high-risk (Luminal-B) patients will be analyzed by next-generation sequencing

Background and preliminary data: Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by a clonal expansion of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM) with a continuous spread of tumour cells in and out of BM. A continuous interaction between BM stromal cells (BMSCs) and MM cells supports proliferation,

Background Breast cancers exhibit a wide scope of morphologic features with demonstrated prognostic significance. These features have the advantage of easily evaluated in routine reporting; thus offering great clinical potential. In our earlier analysis, fibrotic focus (FF) was demonstrated to have

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the objective response rate (ORR) of olaparib plus cediranib and olaparib plus ceralasertib (AZD6738) combinations in patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer with germline BRCA (breast cancer susceptibility gene) mutations who have been previously treated

Introduction: Ovarian cancer accounts for 2.5 percent of cancers in women. In Sweden, a total of 694 new cases of ovarian and fallopian tube cancers were reported in 2012. During the period 2005-2009, the relative 1-year survival for all ovarian cancers was 81.8% but 5-year survival was only 44%

Tumour hypoxia is feature common to most solid tumours, with significant implications in tumour aggressiveness, metastatic potential and response to therapy. Tumour oxygenation monitoring is likely, therefore, to provide a valuable adjunct in risk stratification and treatment response

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common solid cancers worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Early stage HCC can be cured by surgical removal or non-surgical ablation procedures, albeit a high recurrence rate up to 75% in 5 years remains an unsolved problem.

Three tumor samples will be obtained after the patient is under anaesthesia, 1. Prior to starting surgery (Sample A) 2. The middle intra-operative sample, which will be collected when half the tumour has been devascularized (i.e., somewhere midway during the surgery). (Sample B) 3. A third post

Breast cancer is the most common non cutaneous cancer in U.S. women, with an estimated 63,960 cases of in situ disease and 266,120 cases of invasive disease in 2018. (American Cancer Society: Cancer Facts and Figures 2018). On the basis of ER, PR, and HER2/neu results, breast cancer is classified as

Antiangiogenic agents are the most widely used biologic agents in oncology and are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use against many different malignancies based on the results of several randomized phase III trials. However, acquired resistance to antiangiogenics is a major

It is estimated that 234.2 million major surgical procedures are undertaken every year worldwide. Surgery is one of the major treatment methods for patients with malignant tumor. And, alone with the ageing process, more and more elderly patients undergo surgery for malignant tumor. However, evidence

Rapid estrogen level decline after menopause is associated with systemic bone loss in women leading to osteopenia/osteoporosis. Estrogen therapy (ET) improves bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. Currently, ET has been associated with statistically significant increased risk of breast

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR) of cediranib (cediranib maleate) plus olaparib in combination in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors of the following tumor types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), pancreatic

Glioma is the most frequent malignant primary brain tumor and remains a lethal disease with a dismal prognosis. Glioblastoma (GBM) accounts approximately 50% of all glioma and among these tumors, are the most malignant. GBM are characterized by a higher cellular density and by the ample existence of

The relation between cancer and nutrition has been well established; cancer builds upon damage to cellular DNA resulting from carcinogenic environmental factors, in which nutrition plays a major role. Many diet and lifestyle factors can influence the development of cancer, a disease expected to
