  1. 1. Head and Neck Cancer : Factors Affecting Tumour Growth

    Författare :Kaarina Sundelin; Elisabeth Paulette-Hultcrantz; Karin Öllinger; Karin Roberg; Hans Gustafsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Head and neck cancer; Chemoradiotherapy; Tumour; Malignant salivary; Metallothionein; Neo-angiogenesis; Metastases; Cytokine tumour necrosis factor-alpha; hepatocyte growth factor; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Head and neck cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide with an estimated annual global incidence of over 500 000 cases. These malignant tumours develop in the mucosal linings of the upper respiratory tract or in the salivary glands. The most common sites are in the oral cavity and larynx. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Staging and therapy response in rectal cancer

    Författare :Klara Hammarström; Tobias Sjöblom; Bengt Glimelius; Artur Mezheyeuski; Eva Angenete; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rectal cancer; radiotherapy; chemoradiotherapy; complete remission; response prediction; prognosis; targeted sequencing; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Every year, around 2,200 individuals are diagnosed with rectal cancer in Sweden. As a result of better tumour staging using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), pre-operative radiotherapy (with or without chemotherapy), and improved surgery, outcome has improved substantially during the past few decades.

  4. 3. Cellular effects of ionizing radiation : Relevant for understanding cancer risk after medical and environmental radiation exposures

    Författare :Pamela Chiaka Akuwudike; Andrzej Wojcik; Lovisa Lundholm; Kerstin Borgmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiation; DNA damage; radiation-induced carcinogenesis; second primary cancer; cisplatin chemoradiotherapy; dose fractionation; low dose; low dose rate; dose and dose rate effectiveness factor DDREF ; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : Radiation-induced cancers are stochastic and delayed effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. The dose-response relationship for radiation-induced cancers at both low dose/low dose rates and high doses (doses encountered during radiotherapy) remains unclear. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Aspects of neoadjuvant therapy in the curative treatment of cancer in the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction

    Författare :Fredrik Klevebro; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant esophageal tumors are among the most severe cancers. Only about 30% of the patients are suitable for curative treatment at diagnosis. The treatment is extremely demanding and unfortunately has disappointing results. The staging of disease and the treatment for cancer of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction need to be improved. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Multimodality treatment of oesophageal cancer : effects and side effects

    Författare :Gabriella Alexandersson von Döbeln; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Oesophageal cancer is highly fatal and treatment with curative intent is beset with many side effects. Treatment options are (1) chemoradiotherapy, (2) chemotherapy with or without the addition of radiotherapy followed by surgery or (3) surgery alone. LÄS MER
