1. 1. Locally recurrent rectal cancer : aspects on management, surgery and outcome

   Författare :Karin Westberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) is a severe condition associated with a high morbidity and mortality, affecting about 150-200 people/year in Sweden. After improvements in management and treatment of primary rectal cancer (RC), including an amelioration and standardisation of surgical technique, improved preoperative staging, addition of preoperative radiotherapy (RT), implementation of multidisciplinary team conferences and postoperative surveillance programmes, the rate of LRRC has decreased dramatically from 30-40% to 5-15%.

3. 2. Locally advanced rectal cancer : aspects on management, outcome and quality of life

   Författare :Gabriella Jansson Palmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Locally recurrent rectal cancer; locally advanced primary rectal cancer; survival; radiological staging; MDT;

   Sammanfattning : Rectal cancer is common in Sweden, with about 1650 patients diagnosed annually. In 10-15% of the patients the tumour is locally advanced at diagnosis, i.e. the cancer is growing outside the mesorectal fascia, into adjacent organs in the pelvis. LÄS MER

4. 3. Aspects on local recurrence of rectal cancer

   Författare :Erik Syk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Rectal cancer is a common malignant disease in Sweden which is diagnosed in about 1,800 patients annually. Local failure, defined as residual or recurrent disease within the pelvis, is of major concern in rectal cancer treatment. LÄS MER

5. 4. Low rectal cancer : aspects of surgical techniques and treatment results

   Författare :Claes Anderin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Rectal cancer is the 7th most common form of cancer in Sweden, both for men and women. About one third of all patients diagnosed with rectal cancer have a low tumour (i.e. 0-5 cm from the anal verge). LÄS MER

7. 5. Magnetic resonance imaging of rectal tumours

   Författare :Lennart Blomqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Rectum; Neoplasms; Magnetic Resonance Imaging;

   Sammanfattning : Cross sectional imaging techniques introduced during the last two decades have been increasingly used in the evaluation of patients with pelvic tumours. The extent of tumour - the tumour stage - at the time of diagnosis constitutes a guideline for both the immediate treatment and the follow-up of the patient. LÄS MER
