   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the thesis was to describe the effects of radiotherapy following laryngeal cancer on health-related quality of life (HRQL) and voice function as well as to assess the efficiency of voice rehabilitation. Patients treated by radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer were included in the study and randomised into two groups, one intervention group receiving voice rehabilitation and one control group. LÄS MER

3. 2. Immune cell phenotypes of head and neck lesions associated with viral infections

   Författare :Aastha Sobti; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human papilloma virus HPV ; Epstein-Barr virus; tonsillar cancer; nasopharyngeal cancer; laryngeal papilloma; tumour microenvionment; Immune cells; flow cytometery; Spatial proteomics;

   Sammanfattning : Tonsillar cancer (TC) and nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) are associated with high-risk humanpapillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), respectively. Similarly, benign lesions, knownas laryngeal papilloma (LP), are associated with low-risk HPV. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common histological type of cancer in the head and neck region and arises in the epithelial mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. Approximately one and a half million people are living with the diagnosis. LÄS MER

5. 4. Mapping viruses in non-malignant tonsils, nasal polyps, sinonasal inverted papilloma and laryngeal cancer

   Författare :Alexandra Schindele; Katarina Olofsson; Karin Nylander; Annika Allard; Lalle Hammarstedt Nordenvall; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human papilloma virus; Epstein-Barr virus; Human cytomegalovirus; Human adenovirus; p16 tumor suppressor protein; Non-malignant tonsillar disease; Chronic rhino sinusitis with nasal polyps; sinonasal inverted papilloma; laryngeal cancer; EBER-ISH; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background: The upper respiratory tract is exposed to viruses, which can lead to infection and cancer development. We chose to study common and/or chronic diseases along with common and cancer related viruses in the upper airway. LÄS MER

7. 5. Prognostic and predictive factors in laryngeal cancer treated with radiotherapy

   Författare :Hedda Haugen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Laryngeal cancer; accelerated radiotherapy; predictive factors; pre-radiotherapy hemoglobin level; MVD; p53; Ki-67; EGFr; histopathologic differentiation.;

   Sammanfattning : Radiotherapy (RT) and surgery are the only two curative treatments for patients with laryngeal cancer (LC). RT has the advantage that it offers a possibility to preserve a functioning larynx and hence a functioning normal voice. The response of tumors to RT is heterogeneous, even within the same tumor stage. LÄS MER
