  1. 1. Understanding normal-tissue late effects in the intestines after pelvic radiotherapy

    Författare :Dilip Malipatlolla; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pelvic radiotherapy; Intestinal inflammation; dietary fiber;

    Sammanfattning : Radiotherapy cures patients from deadly cancer, alone or in combination with other treatments. The photons must pass through normal tissue to converge on the tumor, and it is unavoidable that radiotherapy causes acute as well as late adverse effects. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Pathogenesis of Obesity and Effects of Treatment. Clinical and Molecular Studies on Body Fat, Energy Balance, and Weight Loss

    Författare :Anders Gummesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Obesity; Adipose tissue; Obesity treatment; Energy balance; Visceral obesity; Weight loss; Cancer; Human studies;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity is common and related to many health problems including various forms of cancer. The condition arises from the imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure, and is strongly influenced by genetic factors. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Abdominal & pelvic radiotherapy: acute effects on inflammation, leucocytes and collagen deposition

  5. 4. Towards prevention of pelvic radiation disease in gynecological cancer survivors

    Författare :Helena Lind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: To improve the therapeutic ratio of radiation therapy, an increased knowledge of how dose distributions affect normal tissue outcomes is critically needed; however normal tissue outcomes in terms of self-reported atomized symptoms among gynecological cancer survivors are rare in the literature. Aims: To investigate the prevalence of self-reported symptoms and their impact on daily life among long-term gynecological cancer survivors previously treated with pelvic radiation therapy. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Comparative study of Radiation Therapy of Targets in the Upper Abdomen with Photon- or Scanned Proton-beams

    Författare :Gracinda Mondlane; Albert Siegbahn; Michael Gubanski; Iuliana Toma-Dasu; Crister Ceberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photon radiotherapy; proton beam radiotherapy; gastric cancer; liver metastases; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Sammanfattning : Recently, there has been an increase in the number of proton beam therapy (PBT) centers operating worldwide. For certain cases, proton beams have been shown to provide dosimetric and radiobiological advantages when used for cancer treatment, compared to the regular photon-beam based treatments. LÄS MER
