1. Early stage inflammation and cancer as reflected in the gastrointestinal mucus composition: implications for diagnosis, prognosis and pathogenesis
Sammanfattning : Mucus covers our inner interfaces towards the environment, providing protection while enabling vital interaction with the outside world. The mucus is built around mucin proteins, which are important for our defences against infection and inflammation, but may also contribute to carcinogenesis and tumour progression. LÄS MER
2. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas. Clinical management, health economy and biomarkers
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma : a comparison in clinicopathology and long-term outcome
Sammanfattning : Background: The resections for both pre-malignant and invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (inv-IPMN) have increased the last decades. Long term outcome, and the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy, non-regional lymph node status and recurrence pattern on overall survival (OS) is known for conventional pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but not so for inv-IPMN.

4. Improvement of the diagnosis and management of cystic tumors of the pancreas
Sammanfattning : Pancreatic cancer is on its course on becoming the second cause of cancer related mortality. Although improvements have been made in the treatment arsenal, still only a minority of patients are able to receive treatment with curative intention. LÄS MER
5. Pancreatic cancer : prevention through improved diagnostics in individuals at risk
Sammanfattning : With the intent of timely detecting malignant precursors or pancreatic cancer (PC) in an early stage, current guidelines recommend surveillance for patients with pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs), such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), and individuals at risk (IAR) for familiar/hereditary pancreatic cancer (PC). This surveillance is mainly performed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). LÄS MER
