1. Intraperitoneal 5-Fluorouracil treatment of cancer - clinical and experimental studies
Sammanfattning : Background:Pancreas cancer is a most aggressive malignancy. More than 80% of patients diagnosed with pancreas cancer, exhibit such advanced disease, that curative surgery is impossible. Systemic chemotherapy prolongs survival to 5-9 months. LÄS MER
2. Pathophysiology of 5-fluorouracil induced cardiotoxicity : a clinical and experimental study
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the pathophysiology of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) induced cardiotoxicity. The aim of the clinical studies was to determine whether hemorheological factors might explain 5-FU cardiotoxicity (I) and if the syndrome was associated with free radical (FR) generation and lipid peroxidation (II).

3. Endothelial and cardiac effects of 5-fluorouracil. An experimental and clinical study
Sammanfattning : The cytostatic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been shown to affect both morphology and function of vascular endothelium. These effects could be part of the pathophysiology for 5-FU induced cardiotoxicity. The present thesis explores the mechanisms of this endothelial toxicity. LÄS MER
4. Effects of 5-fluorouracil on oral barrier functions
Sammanfattning : Many anticancer drugs, e.g. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), may cause oral mucositis and ulcerations. These adverse reactions can be severe and debilitating to the patient, and adjustment of the cancer treatment may be necessary. LÄS MER
5. Studies of Intracellular Transport and Anticancer Drug Action by Functional Genomics in Yeast
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the use of functional genomics screens in yeast to study anticancer drug action and intracellular transport. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a particularly useful model system for global drug screens, due to the availability of knockout mutants for all yeast genes. LÄS MER
