1. Adjuvant treatments to prevent local reurrence after breast-conserving surgery for early breast cancer : radiation, endocrine- or brachytherapy
Sammanfattning : Radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery due to breast cancer is an established treatment, known to reduce the incidence of recurrence and even death from the disease. However some women are over-treated with sometimes serious adverse effects. De-escalating the treatment and find alternative adjuvant methods are becoming an important issue. LÄS MER
2. To predict results of breast cancer therapy
Sammanfattning : We have used the almost complete national Swedish Cancer register, regional quality management register and one randomized adjuvant endocrine trial to study, the effect of radiotherapy in breast cancer with 1-3 positive nodes (study 1), the effect of tamoxifen in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumors depending on expression of the progesterone receptor (PR) (studies 2 and 4) and the development of the survival rates of breast cancer in Sweden 1989-2013 (study 3) Study 1. We compared relative breast cancer survival in two Swedish health care regions that between 1989 and 2006 had different guidelines for postoperative radiotherapy. LÄS MER
3. Designing, developing, and evaluating a person-centered support model for women with breast cancer treated with endocrine therapy
Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Approximately 70% of all breast cancers are estrogen positive and are recommended for treatment with adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) for five to ten years, which significantly reduces mortality rates. However, problems related to ET can be experienced by patients. LÄS MER
4. Life Style, Molecular Pathology, and Breast Cancer Risk
Sammanfattning : The breast cancer diagnosis covers a wide range of tumours with different geno- and phenotypic characteristics. The diversity among studies on life-style factors and their impact on breast cancer risk might be clarified by recognizing breast cancer as a heterogeneous disease. LÄS MER
5. Down syndrome : Growth and endocrine impact
Sammanfattning : Down syndrome (DS) is associated with psychomotor retardation, short stature and endocrine dysfunction. Statural growth is a well-known indicator of health. The growth in DS differs markedly from that of other children and there is a 20 cm reduction of final height as compared to target height. LÄS MER
