  1. 1. Prostate cancer : epidemiological studies of risk factors

    Författare :Camilla Thellenberg Karlsson; Beatrice Malmer; Henrik Grönberg; Anders Bergh; Peter Iversen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; epidemiology; SNP; BRCA2; male breast cancer; inflammation; BPH; P53; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : In spite of the fact that prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in both Sweden and many other countries in the developed world, little is known of risk factors and predisposing conditions. The only well recognized risk factors are age, race and familial aggregation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. MRI in prostate cancer : implications for target volume

    Författare :Ulrika Björeland; Camilla Thellenberg-Karlsson; Tufve Nyholm; Joakim Jonsson; Lars Beckman; Taran Paulsen Hellebust; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MRI; imaging; prostate; radiotherapy; target detection; radiofysik; radiation physics;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer among men, with 10 000 new cases per year in Sweden [1]. To diagnose PCa, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to identify and classify the disease. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Adverse effects of curative treatment of prostate cancer

    Författare :Jon Örn Fridriksson; Pär Stattin; Camilla Thellenberg-Karlsson; Mats Lambe; Francesco Montorsi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; prostate-specific antigen; decision aids; radical prostatectomy; radiotherapy; patient readmission; adverse effects; Urology; kirurgi; särskilt urologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background Screening for prostate cancer is debated, there is conflicting data on the net benefit of screening. Men who consider screening need to be informed on the pros and cons. Rehospitalization after surgery can be used as an indicator of general quality of care. For radical prostatectomy, little is known on the readmission rate after surgery. LÄS MER

  5. 4. PET and MR imaging in prostate cancer

    Författare :Kristina Sandgren; Tufve Nyholm; Joakim Jonsson; Camilla Thellenberg-Karlsson; Lennart Blomqvist; Heidi Lyng; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PET; PSMA; MRI; PET MRI; imaging; prostate cancer; intraprostatic tumour detection; radiofysik; radiation physics;

    Sammanfattning : The current risk assessment of prostate cancer (PC) relies on histopathological samples from biopsies and clinical variables such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA). However, this comes with uncertainties and in some cases it can be challenging to separate patients who would benefit from radical treatment and those who would not. LÄS MER

  7. 5. 11C-Acetate-PET/CT in Primary Staging of High-Risk Prostate Cancer

    Författare :Sara Strandberg; Katrine Riklund; Camilla Thellenberg-Karlsson; Jan Axelsson; Lennart Blomqvist; Jens Sörensen; Umeå universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, affecting ~12%. Although most are clinically insignificant low-risk cancers, the more aggressive high-risk cancers require correct staging, prior to curative radiotherapy or surgery. LÄS MER
