Lower survival for women than men with germ cell tumours
Women who suffer from the ovarian cancer known as germ cell tumours have a worse prognosis than men with the corresponding tumours, i.e. testicular cancer. After five years with the disease, 98 per cent of men were alive, but survival for women was only 85 per cent. This is shown in a new study from IGP and Uppsala University Hospital published in the journal Journal of Internal Medicine. Läs mer -
Quiescent cancer cells potential target for colorectal cancer therapy
For patients with colorectal cancer the tumour often recurs since quiescent cancer cells can escape therapy and start growing again. In a study from IGP, the researchers have discovered a protein that identifies such quiescent cancer cells. This could improve the possibilities to eliminate also these cells and ultimately lead to more effective therapy. Läs mer -
Patients with precursor stage of malignant melanoma show better survival than people in general
alignant melanoma is the cancer type that show the largest increase in Sweden. A study from IGP shows that patients with a precursor stage of malignant melanoma have a significantly better survival than the population in general, despite an increased risk of being diagnosed with malignant melanoma. The results have been published in the journal eClinicalMedicine/The Lancet. Läs mer
