1. Prognostic and predictive factors in laryngeal cancer treated with radiotherapy
Sammanfattning : Radiotherapy (RT) and surgery are the only two curative treatments for patients with laryngeal cancer (LC). RT has the advantage that it offers a possibility to preserve a functioning larynx and hence a functioning normal voice. The response of tumors to RT is heterogeneous, even within the same tumor stage. LÄS MER
2. Development and Test of an Imaging Instrument for Measurement of Water Droplets in Icing Conditions
Sammanfattning : Structural icing is a persistent challenge for the production of renewable energy from wind. It is mainly caused by supercooled atmospheric droplets of water, which are very common in cold climates. In the most exposed wind parks in Sweden, more than 10 per cent of annual energy production can be lost. LÄS MER
3. Vascular density and bone marrow fibrosis in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Sammanfattning : Background: In childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the cure rate has now reached 80% in the western world. Even so, 15¬–20% will die from the disease or treatment-related causes, among them children who did not present any known unfavorable features at diagnosis. LÄS MER
4. Studies on Prediction of Axillary Lymph Node Status in Invasive Breast Cancer
Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females in Sweden. Axillary lymph-node dissection is a standard procedure in the management of breast cancer, aiming at obtaining prognostic information for adjuvant therapy decisions. Axillary dissection entails considerable morbidity. LÄS MER
5. Angiogenesis in human renal cell carcinoma : hypoxia, vascularity and prognosis
Sammanfattning : Background: Angiogenesis is recognised as a critical step in tumour progression. The angiogenic switch is activated by various trigger signals, such as hypoxia, low pH, and genetic mutations. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is often an aggressive tumour, and advanced disease has limited treatment options and bad prognosis. LÄS MER
