1. Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in western Sweden with a special focus on BRCA1 3171ins5 mutation
Sammanfattning : Aims: To describe the phenotype and geographic distribution of the western Swedish founder mutation BRCA1 3171ins5, evaluate the reliability of mutation analysis of this mutation on archival material, analyse the haplotype for founder effects in families with BRCA1 3171ins5 mutation, estimate the age of this mutation and evaluate whether the occurrence of both breast and ovarian cancers in the same women may be a marker of a BRCA gene mutation. Materials and methods: The first study was based on 16 families with BRCA1 3171ins5 mutation and the second study was based on 18 families with the same mutation. LÄS MER
2. Risk Factors of Tumour Recurrence and Reduced Survival in Rectal Cancer
Sammanfattning : In Sweden, 2000 patients are diagnosed with rectal cancer annually. In 1995, the Swedish Rectal Cancer Registry (SRCR) was launched to supervise and assure the quality of the management of rectal cancer. Advances in the management of rectal cancer have reduced the local recurrence (LR) rate and improved survival. LÄS MER
3. Patients' quality of life - Living with incurable cancer in palliative homecare

4. Interstitial Laser Thermotherapy of Liver Tumours. Methodology and Application
Sammanfattning : Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) is a method well suited for selective local destruction of malignant tumours. In the present work, a laser thermotherapy system based on feedback temperature control of energy delivery (through computerised feedback system) was developed. LÄS MER
