  1. 1. Experimental and population-based studies on colorectal cancer - Thymidine phosphorylase as a potential biomarker

    Författare :Elinor Bexe-Lindskog; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; thymidine phosphorylase; chemotherapy; adjuvant; biological markers; prognosis; practice guidelines; radiotherapy;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies, and the only reliable treatment option for cure is surgery. Method: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the gene expression of the enzyme thymidine phosphorylase (TP), which was related to prognostic factors (paper I, n=254), evaluated as a predictive factor (paper III, n=125), and assessed by change of treatment (paper II, n=28).

  3. 2. Esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junctional Cancer : Improving Patient selection, Treatment and Care

    Författare :Christine Jestin Hannan; Jakob Hedberg; Gustav Linder; Magnus Sundbom; Guillaume Piessen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Esophageal cancer; Lymphadenectomy; Geographical differences; Atelectasis; Multidisciplinary Cancer Conference;

    Sammanfattning : Esophageal cancer is the sixth most common cause of cancer-related death. Choice of surgical approach and individualized treatment is crucial. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate the introduction of minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) regarding oncological results and postoperative complications. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Esophageal- and Gastroesophageal Junctional Cancer : Aspects on Staging, Treatment and Results

    Författare :Gustav Linder; Jakob Hedberg; Magnus Sundbom; Wilhelm Graf; Bas P.L. Wijnhoven; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Esophageal cancer; Education level; Tonometry; Lymphadenectomy; PET MRI; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Esophageal- and gastroesophageal junctional (GEJ) cancer is the sixth cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Some improvements in care are attributed to nationwide disease-specific registries, preoperative staging and increased understanding of mechanisms affecting patient selection. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Prognostic and predictive factors in colorectal cancer

    Författare :Kristoffer Derwinger; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :colorectal cancer; prognosis; lymph nodes; lymph node ratio; MTHFR; cyclin E; TNM; staging; metastasis;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: The aim of the thesis was to study prognostic and predictive factors in patients treated for colorectal cancer (CRC). Method: In paper I, a retrospective comparison was made between the patients treated in 1999 (n=180) with those treated in 2004 (n=175). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Liver metastases from colorectal cancer

    Författare :Jennie Engstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. At diagnosis of CRC 20-25% of patients have metastatic disease. The liver is the most common metastatic site and liver metastases are detected in 25-30% of all patients. LÄS MER
