MAD for Cancer A multifocal research program CREATE Health Not for the next generation, but for today's Medicon Village -hosting many small life science companies as well as researchers from Lund University. Medicon Village has become a hot spot for cancer scientists, and many prinicipal investigators have chosen to re-locate to Medicon Village.

Over the last decade it has become evident that a tumor no longer can be regarded as only a collection of cancer cells, but constitutes an organ itself. Consequently, the only successful strategy to fight cancer will be to combine know-how from areas involving all parts of the tumor environment. The MAD for Cancer Program is a unique concept in that it brings together several different facets of c

Research FocusThe World Health Organization (WHO), states that cancer is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancers related deaths in 2012. Furthermore, the number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70% over the next 2 decades. In Sweden, someone is diagnosed with cancer every tenth minutes, which is the equ

Accumulating data suggests that many human tumors are organized in cellular hierarchies initiated and maintained by a small population of self-renewing so called cancer stem cells. This was first demonstrated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but during recent years, cancer stem cells have also been demonstrated in other cancer types. These cells are not killed by conventional cancer therapy and thu

Genomics is the study of all genes in a cell or organism and has during the recent ten-year period been subject to an unprecedented development. Genes determines what proteins and other building blocks an organism will consist of. This means that ultimately the genes also determines the risk for an individual to develop different disease like cancer, since genetic abnormalities, such as mutations,

Proteomics is the study of the proteome, which is defined as the set of proteins and their modifications being expressed in a cell under defined conditions at a specific time. There are over 200 different cell types in a human body and all proteins in those cells vary with time and environmental stimuli showing the complexity of the proteome.

Targeted therapy is directed against specific molecules on certain cells. The therapy, based on e.g. antibodies can function in a number of ways. The specific antibody can for example block the growth of cancer cells by interfering with specific signaling molecules, or carry a radionuclide or a toxin that can kill the tumor cell. This is in contrast to conventional therapy, such as chemotherapy, t

World Health Organization (WHO) states that as many as 30% of all cancers could be cured if diagnosed earlier. One reason is that tumors in early stages more frequently are operable. They also respond better to treatments and have not yet formed metastasis. In the early 1980´s, mammography was introduced to detect breast tumors earlier, which contributed to an improved five-year survival rate of >
