  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Localized Prostate Cancer : Results From a Randomized Clinical Trial

    Författare :Anna Bill-Axelson; Lars Holmberg; Bo Johan Norlén; Peter Wiklund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; prostate cancer; localized; randomized; biopsies; interviews; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : The aims of the thesis were to• explore whether radical prostatectomy is beneficial compared with watchful waiting in survival and disease progression• find possible effect modifiers• evaluate a protocol of multiple biopsies and investigate if men with previous benign prostate biopsies are a group at risk for later prostate cancer• inquire into patients’ and clinicians’ experiences of randomization in order to find out what made this study possible to conduct, and thereby contribute to improve randomization in the futureThe background material was a large randomized clinical trial, the Scandinavian Prostatic Cancer Group Study Number 4, or SPCG-4, which was open for inclusion from February 1989 through December 1999. It comprised 695 men in Sweden, Finland and Iceland who had localized prostate cancer and were randomized to either radical prostatectomy or watchful waiting. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Quality of life aspects of being diagnosed and living with prostate cancer

    Författare :Oskar Bergengren; Anna Bill-Axelson; Ulrika Kreicbergs; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; Oncology; Active surveillance; Quality of life; Survivorship; Satisfaction; Choice; Adherence; Life-style change; PSA;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is largely a heterogenous disease, ranging from almost harmless to highly aggressive. Most men are diagnosed with favorable-risk disease with a long life expectancy even without treatment. The risk of overdiagnosing and overtreating these men is substantial, with reduced quality of life as a result. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Quality of Life and Functional Outcomes in Men with Localized Prostate Cancer

    Författare :Eva Johansson; Anna Bill-axelson; Anders Widmark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; radical prostatectomy; watchful waiting; quality of life; erectil dysfunction; androgen deprivation therapy; robot-assisted radical prostatectomy; inguinal hernia; information; randomized; Urology and andrology; Urologi och andrologi; Urologi; Urology;

    Sammanfattning : Quality-of-life and functional outcomes are important in the choice of treatment for men with localized prostate cancer. These issues were investigated in the present thesis. All living 400 men randomized to radical prostatectomy or watchful waiting from 1989 to 1999 in the Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group Number 4 (SPCG-4) were included. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Outcomes and complications in surgical and urological procedures

    Författare :Karl-Johan Lundström; Pär Nordin; Pär Stattin; Anna Bill Axelson; Thue Bisgaard; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hydrocele; Spermatocele; Groin hernia; prostate biopsy; complication; infection; chronic pain; Urology; kirurgi; särskilt urologi; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background:Minor procedures in surgery and urology such as groin hernia and hydrocele repair, as well as prostate biopsies are very frequently done in routine practice. Complications and insufficient outcomes thus affecting many patients and the cumulative effect of this are of major importance in a population perspective. LÄS MER
