  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. Characteristics of screen-failures in prostate cancer screening

    Författare :Anna Grenabo Bergdahl; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; screening; prostate cancer; screening failures; antigen; age; interval cancer; multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging; non-attendees; prostate cancer screening;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Although prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening has been shown to reduce prostate cancer (PC)-specific mortality with large variations in mortality reduction with different screening algorithms, the optimal screening strategy has not yet been established. This thesis aims at exploring aspects of underdiagnosis in PC screening, focusing on the impact of screening failures on screening effectiveness. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Optimized use of MRI in a PSA based prostate cancer screening program

    Författare :Jonas Wallström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MRI; prostate cancer; screening;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to optimize different aspects of the use of MRI in screening for prostate cancer. Paper 1 was based on preoperative MRI in a prostatectomy cohort. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Prostate Cancer Diagnosis : experimental and Clinical Studies With HRMAS NMR Spectroscopy

    Författare :Katarina Stenman; Katrine Åhlström-Riklund; Anders Bergh; Peter Lundberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; PCa; HRMAS NMR; MRSI; metabolomics; Gleason score; citrate; inositol; choline; Krebs cycle; PUFA; omega-6; omega-3; Diagnostic radiology; Diagnostisk radiologi; Radiology; radiologi;

    Sammanfattning : A few abnormal cells found in a small piece of prostate tissue are most consequential for a man’s future. The prevalence of prostate cancer (PCa) is increasing globally. LÄS MER
