1. 1. Prostate Cancer Screening - Aspects of Overdiagnosis

   Författare :Rebecka Arnsrud Godtman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; active surveillance; age; cause of death; opportunistic; organized; overdiagnosis; prostate cancer; prostate-specific antigen; risk factors; screening; screening interval;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to explore aspects of overdiagnosis, i.e. the diagnosis of a tumor that in the absence of screening would never have been diagnosed, in prostate cancer (PC) screening. LÄS MER

3. 2. Breast cancer screening with mammography of women 40-49 years in Sweden

   Författare :Barbro Numan Hellquist; Håkan Jonsson; Lennarth Nyström; Nea Malila; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cohort; mortality; breast cancer; mammography screening; risk factors; parity; age at first birth; socio-economic status; overdiagnosis; Oncology; onkologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background The debate regarding the lower age limit for mammography service screening is old and lively; a product in part of the lower breast cancer risk in younger ages as well as the limited data available for studies of the younger age group. Recently the idea of inviting only high risk groups has gained momentum, however high risk might not be equivalent to greater benefit from screening. LÄS MER

4. 3. Surveillance and follow-up of early prostate cancer

   Författare :Mats Steinholtz Ahlberg; Anna Bill-Axelson; Lars Holmberg; Anna Lantz; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; active surveillance; follow-up; biochemical recurrence; triggers for transition to radical treatment; overdiagnosis; overtreatment.; Urologi; Urology;

   Sammanfattning : Active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer was introduced to address overtreatment resulting from prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. Despite advancements such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and targeted biopsies, PSA remains crucial in prostate cancer diagnostics, leading to ongoing challenges of overdiagnosis and overtreatment.

5. 4. The assessment of disease progression in keratoconus and corneal crosslinking in thin corneae

   Författare :Ingemar Gustafsson; Lund Oftalmologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Keratoconus; corneal crosslinking;

   Sammanfattning : Keratoconus generally manifests in adolescents, and can progress leading to severely impaired vision. The risk of progression is inversely correlated to age; thus younger patients are at higher risk than older ones. Progressive keratoconus can be halted by corneal crosslinking (CXL). LÄS MER

7. 5. Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Screening Tool for Prostate Cancer

   Författare :Kimia Kohestani; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; prostate-specific antigen; magnetic resonance imaging; screening; early detection;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the role of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate as an adjunct to the prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-test in screening for prostate cancer (PCa), focusing on the performance of MRI in detecting clinically significant PCa within the randomised controlled GÖTEBORG Prostate Cancer Screening 2 Trial. By inviting men 50–60 years of age to different screening strategies—PSA cut-off for biopsy 3. LÄS MER
