Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDA), the most common pancreatic cancer, remains one of the most lethal tumor types, with extremely low survival rates due to late diagnosis and resistance to standard therapies. Expression ...
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the reference biomarker for prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis. This biomarker is increased in PCa, but also in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) causing a high number of unnecessary ...
ENG- Pancreatic cancer (PDAC) is becoming more common, especially in developed countries, due to risk factors like smoking and alcohol-related chronic pancreatitis (CP). Its hidden location often causes late-stage diagnosis, ...
Most current chemotherapeutic agents are of limited use due to their side effects and the resistance to treatment that tumour cells develop. In this thesis, we have contributed to the knowledge of these limitations through ...
The members of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) / ErbB family are prime targets for cancer therapy. However, the therapeutic efficiency of the existing anti-ErbB agents is limited. Thus, identifying new molecules that ...
Aquest és el primer informe que demostra que l'autofàgia està mecànicament vinculat al manteniment de les cèl•lules tumorals que expressen alts nivells de CD44 i baixos nivells de CD24, que són típics de les cèl•lules mare ...
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is adults' most common acute leukemia. Prognostic factors influencing treatment response and patient survival are diverse, the most relevant being those associated with specific cytogenetic and ...
Introduction: Anastomotic leak (AL) is the most feared complication in the postoperative period for patients with rectal cancer. Objectives: To determine the real rate of AL in patients operated on for rectal cancer. ...
ENG- The radiotherapy treatment for left breast cancer is widely described. One of the long-term undesirable effects of radiotherapy is heart disease, which often manifests as ischemia or myocardial infarction, especially ...
L'inhibidor de carboxipeptidasa de patata (PCI) és un antagonista de l'EGF. Un dels problemes del PCI, però, és la baixa afinitat per l'EGFR en comparació amb el lligand natural. En aquest treball s'han dissenyat nous ...
Study of the impact of UGT2B17 and PD-1 on allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic progenitors (allo-TPH) from HLA-identical related donor. everal genetic factors can favor the development of graft-versus-host disease ...
INTRODUCTION: Anastomotic leak (AL) is the most dreadful and life-threatening complication in colon cancer (CC) surgery. It is associated to an increase of morbimortality, longer hospital stay, increased healthcare costs ...
Els pacients amb càncer presenten una taxa de supervivència superior si es diagnostiquen a estadis inicials, per la qual cosa és indispensable disposar de marcadors tumorals adequats. Glicoformes de proteïnes específiques ...
In this work we report that potato carboxypeptidase inhibitor suppresses the growth of several human and mouse pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines. The inhibitor also reduces the growth of solid tumors obtained by ...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) presents a dismal prognosis mainly due to its delayed diagnosis, its aggressiveness, and resistance to existing therapies. Aberrant glycosylation and, in particular, the overexpression ...
Serum levels of several molecules associated to pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) pathophysiology are evaluated in this work, in order to determine their diagnostic value, distinguishing between PDAC patients and healthy ...
Pancreatic cancer (PaC) is the deadliest of all tumours, with a 5-year survival below 12% and a mortality/incidence ratio of 94.5%. One of the main reasons behind this dismal prognosis is the diagnosis of the disease at ...
La DM 2 és una malaltia multifactorial i multigènica. Aquest fet condueix a l'estudi de molts gens i proteïnes susceptibles d'estar implicades amb la DM 2. Algunes d'aquestes proteïnes i gens estan associats a un estat ...
The aim of this doctoral thesis was to unravel mechanisms underlying primary resistance to trastuzumab regarding a putative new breast cancer subtype with mixed basal & ErbB2+ molecular features. Using the JIMT-1 breast ...
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by high intrinsic aggressiveness and late diagnosis, causing poor prognosis and resulting in the lowest ...
