Location

Auditorium C114-101, Aarhus University Hospital, Entrance C

On Friday 13 March at 14:00, Tobias Stemann Lau defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Biomarkers of fibrotic complications in neuroendocrine neoplasms: Clinical potential of established and novel markers".

Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), a relatively rare type of cancer arising from specialized cells, have an increased risk of developing serious complications caused by hormones secreted by the tumor. These complications may affect organs such as the heart and kidneys and can have a significant impact on both quality of life and overall survival. A new PhD project from Aarhus University, Health, has investigated whether novel biomarkers can help detect these complications, potentially enabling earlier treatment and possibly prevention of these complications.

The summary is written by the PhD student.

The defence is public and takes place in auditorium C114-101, Aarhus University Hospital, Entrance C. Please see the press release for more information.
