  1. 1. Investigating the crosstalk between estrogen receptor beta in colorectal cancer and tumor-associated macrophages

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Alicia Bodin; [2023]
    Keywords : estrogen; macrophages; colorectal cancer; qPCR; cell culture; östrogen; makrofager; tjocktarmscancer; qPCR; cellodling;

    Abstract : Tjock-och ändtarmscancer (kolorektalcancer) är den tredje vanligaste cancertypen och den näst vanligaste cancer-relaterade dödsorsaken i världen. Östrogen har visat sig ha en skyddande roll mot kolorektalcancer och östrogenreceptor beta är den dominerande östrogenreceptorn i normalt kolonepitel. READ MORE

  4. 3. Is eXplainable AI suitable as a hypotheses generating tool for medical research? Comparing basic pathology annotation with heat maps to find out

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Albert Adlersson; [2023]
    Keywords : black box; eXplainable AI XAI ; Convolutional Neural Network CNN ; Mi- crosatellite Instability MSI ; colon cancer; gastric cancer; hypotheses generating; hypotheses generating tool; medical research;

    Abstract : Hypothesis testing has long been a formal and standardized process. Hypothesis generation, on the other hand, remains largely informal. This thesis assess whether eXplainable AI (XAI) can aid in the standardization of hypothesis generation through its utilization as a hypothesis generating tool for medical research. READ MORE

  5. 4. Surgical stress response in patients with perioperative statin and/or beta-blocker treatment during colon cancer surgery

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Arvid Lindgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Surgical stress response; Colorectal surgery; Beta-blocker treatment; Statin treatment; C-reactive protein.;

    Abstract : Background: Surgical stress during resection surgery for colon cancer has previously been shown to be associated with adverse postoperative outcomes. Statin and beta-blocker treatment have been shown to lower postoperative complications and mortality, and been hypothesized to reduce the surgical stress response, although this correlation has not been studied clinically.

  6. 5. Cellular localization of the estrogen receptor GPER1 in colorectal cancer cell lines

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Malin Lundvall; [2022]
    Keywords : colon cancer; GPER1; estrogen receptor; IF;

    Abstract : Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer type in the world with a mortality rate of around 2000 people in Sweden, year 2018. Women tend to have a lower risk of developing and progressing colorectal cancer, specifically premenopausal women. This indicates that Estrogen plays an important role in protecting from colorectal cancer. READ MORE
