Seven researchers in Gothenburg received a grant from The Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation

8 January, 2016

GRANTS. Seven researchers in Gothenburg was endorsed for their applications to The Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation.

One of the researchers who receive grants are Anders Ståhlberg, Associate Professor of Molecular Medicine. His research projects was awarded SEK 600 000 over two years to develop an accurate method to monitor treatment and detect relapses in patients with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. The method is based on analyzing the so-called cell-free DNA contained in blood of the patient.

“The major problem with measuring tumor DNA blood is that there is a very small amount compared to the commonly occurring DNA. Therefore, we have developed a new measuring method which allows us to detect a small number of mutated DNA molecules in the bloodwith high accuracy,” says Anders Ståhlberg.

The method is not specific for Ewing’s sarcoma but may also eventually be adapted to other forms of cancer.
