  1. 11. Gastroesophageal reflux disease - complications and prognostic aspects

    Författare :Dan Falkenback; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gastroesophageal reflux disease; Barrett s esophagus; natural course; GERD; Adenocarcinoma; prognosis; biomarkers;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates several aspects on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and associated complications as Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. I. To clarify the natural course of GERD, a pH-metry verified cohort was re-evaluated after 20 years. The course of GERD may well be progressive. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Hereditary colorectal cancer : predisposition and prevention

    Författare :Annelie Liljegren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Hereditary colorectal cancer; colonoscopy; adenoma; hyperplastic polyp;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the clinical results from a ten-year long follow-up surveillance program, including regular colonoscopy, for subjects (n=304, 780 colonoscopies) with increased risk of colorectal cancer, and on psychological aspects of the program. The cohort included persons with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and persons assumed to be at increased risk of colorectal cancer because they had two (Two close relatives, TCR) or three or more relatives (Hereditary colorectal cancer, HCRC) afflicted with colorectal cancer.

  5. 14. Molecular genetic studies of colorectal cancer

    Författare :Xiaolei Zhou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Colorectal cancer CRC ; high-penetrance alleles; low-penetrance alleles; autism spectrum disorder ASD ; MSI; microarray; metastasis; hMLH3; APC; MYH; TJP3.;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality due to cancer in the Western countries. Epidemiological studies have shown that at least 20-30% of CRCs have a potentially identifiable genetic cause. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Different genetic pathways involved in colorectal cancer

    Författare :Sima Salahshor; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the three leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide with an incidence of approximately one million cases and a mortality of 500 000 annually. Identification of different pathways involved in tumorigenesis of both familial and sporadic colorectal cancer may led to a major breakthrough in the prevention of this potentially curable disease.
