  1. 1. Composite Cell Block As Control For Immunocytochemical Stains On Cytology Prepared Samples

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Mariia Anastasiia Spireva; [2023]
    Keywords : ICC; formalin; PreservCyt®; agar; plasma-thrombin;

    Abstract : Cytopathology plays a significant role in cancer diagnostics. One of the ancillary methods used for prognostication is immunocytochemistry (ICC). Formalin pre-fixed tissue blocks are often used as validated immunohistochemical controls for cytology samples. READ MORE

  3. 2. Digital Image Analysis using Qupath to determine immune cell content in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded murine neuroblastoma tumors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Anton Bergström Holm; [2023]
    Keywords : Neuroblastoma; Tumor-associated neutrophils TANs ; Digital image analysis; QuPath;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB), an extracranical solid tumor, is among the most prevalent cancers affecting children, particularly those under the age of five. High-risk NB presents a survival rate just below 50 %. Angiogenesis, a crucial process in NB, is induced by various pro-angiogenic factors. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Effect of Angiogenesis Inhibition on Tumor-Associated Granulocytes in an Orthotopic Model of High-Risk Neuroblastoma

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Maja Hammarström; [2022]
    Keywords : neuroblastoma; tumor angiogenesis; sunitinib; SU11248; tumor-associated neutrophils; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : Background: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. The survival rate in high-risk neuroblastoma is less than 50 % despite intensive multimodal therapy, and there is thus an immense need for new treatment options. READ MORE

  5. 4. Serglycin as a potential diagnostic biomarker for hemangiosarcoma in dogs

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Cassandra Linder; [2022]
    Keywords : Serglycin; EEF2; cancer; hemangiosarcoma; dog; canine; metastatic; biomarker; qPCR;

    Abstract : Hemangiosarcoma (HSA) is a common splenic malignant neoplasia in dogs, originating from the endothelium. The tumor has an aggressive character, and the clinical symptoms of HSA are mostly due to the secondary effects of the tumor such as tumor growth or rupture. The prognosis is poor for HSA, usually with a survival time of under one year. READ MORE

  6. 5. The density of CD163+ macrophages in different subtypes of breast cancer

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Julia Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : breast cancer; molecular subtypes; macrophages; immunohistochemistry; CD163;

    Abstract : Introduction Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Sweden and world-wide. Immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and Ki-67 is routinely performed for diagnostic and prognostic purposes.
