  1. 1. Prognostic Factors in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

    Författare :Georg Holgersson; Stefan Bergström; Michael Bergqvist; Simon Ekman; Fredrik Pontén; Henrik Riska; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NSCLC; prognostic factors; survival; histology; anemia; leukocytosis; thrombocytosis; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the cancer disease with the highest mortality globally. About 75% of NSCLC patients are diagnosed in an advanced stage where surgical treatment is not possible. For patients with locally advanced disease without distant metastases, the treatment of choice is curatively intended radiotherapy. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Angiogenesis Related Markers In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Författare :Daniel Brattström; Ola Brodin; Gunnar Wagenius; Torgny Rasmusen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Lung cancer; NSCLC; Therapy; Angiogenesis; VEGF; bFGF; Microvessel density; Survival; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigated the predictive and the prognostic powers of angiogenesis related markers in both operable and inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.In the first and second study, we investigated the serological fractions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in 2 cohorts of patients with either operable or inoperable NSCLC.

  4. 3. Factors influencing management and outcome in non-small cell lung cancer : the role of socioeconomic status, age, geographic region of origin and aspects of quality of life

    Författare :Linda Willén; Stefan Bergström; Michael Bergqvist; Mats Lambe; Roger Henriksson; Bjørn Henning Grønberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lung neoplasms; NSCLC; Sweden; socioeconomic factors; educational level; aged; elderly; immigration; depressive disorder; dysthymic disorder; anxiety; suicide; survival; registries; Oncology; onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Yearly, 4,200 individuals in Sweden are diagnosed with lung cancer, of which 85 % are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aims of this thesis were to investigate aspects of equality of care and outcomes in patients with NSCLC and to examine indicators of quality of life. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The Molecular Epidemiology of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Författare :Johan Isaksson; Johan Botling; Eva Brandén; Hirsh Koyi; Aija Knuuttila; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NSCLC; Lung Cancer; Epidemiology; Genetics; KRAS; Pathology; Biomarkers; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore the role of a spectrum of biomarkers, for disease classification or predictors of treatment outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Paper I examined the impact of systemic inflammation on the clinical outcome of NSCLC patients.

  7. 5. Modelling late toxicity in hypofractionated radiation therapy

    Författare :Niclas Pettersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hypofractionation; normal tissue complication probability; modelling; linear-quadratic model; fractionation sensitivity; late toxicity; radiation-induced rib fracture; genitourinary toxicity; stereotactic body radiation therapy; high-dose-rate brachytherapy; multimodality radiation therapy; patient-reported outcomes; prostate cancer; nsclc;

    Sammanfattning : In hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT), the treatment is delivered by few fractions with high doses per fraction. This is in contrast to conventionally fractionated RT where the total dose is delivered in many fractions with low doses per fraction. LÄS MER
