11. Epidural Analgesia for Colorectal Cancer Surgery : Experimental and Clinical studies
Sammanfattning : Epidural analgesia (EA) with local anaesthetics and opioids is used for pain management after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. In recent years, a possible beneficial effect of EA on cancer recurrence and survival after surgery has been proposed. LÄS MER
12. Colorectal Liver Metastases. Aspects on Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment
Sammanfattning : Liver is the most common site of dissemination in colorectal cancer, and untreated liver metastases are associated with a poor prognosis. The main reason for trying to detect liver metastases early is that liver resection offers a chance for cure in selected patients. LÄS MER
13. Adhesive small bowel obstruction: aspects on epidemiology, treatment, costs and prevention
Sammanfattning : Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common and sometimes life-threatening clinical condition, usually caused by post-operative adhesions. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the outcome after SBO surgery (Paper I), cost of SBO surgery including follow-up (Paper II), incidence of SBO after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery (Paper III), and to assess the safety of using the adhesion preventing substance icodextrin in CRC surgery (Paper IV).

14. Colorectal Cancer - Evaluation of MMP as a prognostic marker and a model for peritoneal response
Sammanfattning : Background : There are about 6600 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in Sweden each year. Survival rates vary with cancer stage at diagnosis. The main treatment is surgery together with, in some cases, oncological treatment. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are deeply involved in the growth and spread of colorectal cancer tumours. LÄS MER
15. Cytoreductive Surgery and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Patients with Peritoneal Metastases from Colorectal Cancer : Aspects of loco-regional treatment outcome, patient selection, and chemo-sensitivity
Sammanfattning : Previously, peritoneal metastases(PM) from colorectal cancer(CRC) have been considered a terminal and generalised form of cancer. A new treatment strategy combining cytoreductive surgery(CRS) and intraperitoneal chemotherapy(IPC) has recently shown promising results. LÄS MER
