1. 26. Application of nuclear medicine methods in patients with breast cancer

   Författare :Brigitte Wilczek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Breast neoplasm; neoadjuvant chemotherapy; radionuelide investigation; sentinel node; SPECT;

   Sammanfattning : While physical examination, mammography and aspiration cytology or core biopsy form the basis in the diagnosis of breast cancer, additional examinations are sometimes required in the evaluation of unclear breast masses. The study deals with the application and evaluation of different nuclear medicine techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. LÄS MER

3. 27. Nuclear medicine imaging of breast cancer and regional lymph nodes

   Författare :Rimma Danielsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :breast neoplasm; scintimammography; diagnostic accuracy; triple diagnosis; axillary lymph node metastases;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore the role of nuclear medicine in diagnosis of primary breast carcinoma and regional lymph node involvement. The introduction includes a review over nuclear medicine techniques currently under investigation. LÄS MER

4. 28. Improving the situation of urinary bladder cancer survivors treated with radical surgery or radical radiotherapy

   Författare :Lars Henningsohn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Bladder neoplasm; radiotherapy; cystectomy; urinary diversion; distressful symptoms; quality of life;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis we investigated whether the situation of urinary bladder cancer survivors can be improved. To do this, it is necessary to acquire a more specific knowledge of longterm distressing symptoms, symptom characteristics (nature, occurrence, intensity and duration), and of the corresponding symptom-induced distress, as well as the effect on wellbeing and the quality of life (VI).

5. 29. Ultrasonography of the hand

   Författare :Margaretha Höglund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Extremities; hand; joint ligaments; injuries; ganglion; soft tissue neoplasm ultrasound; statistics.;

   Sammanfattning : Purpose: A joint project of the Departments of Hand Surgery and Radiology at the same hospital in Stockholm to place during eight years from 1989 to 1996. The aim of the project was to evaluate the possible benefits of diagnostic ultrasound in connection with specific clinical problems in hand surgery. LÄS MER

7. 30. Incidence and interval breast cancers in retrospective assessment

   Författare :Kerstin Moberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Breast neoplasm; mammography screening; computer aided detection; interval breast cancer; incidence breast cancer;

   Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis were to investigate how different review methods used for radiological classification of breast cancers would affect the proportion judged to be false negative, to investigate how computer aided detection (CAD) would affect screening sensitivity, to study the balance between false positive and false negative results and to investigate patient outcome in relation to review result. In a mass screening programme in Stockholm, commencing in 1989 and performed at five independent screening units, interval cancers (presenting in the time interval between two consecutive screening examinations) from two of the units, 103 women, and incidence cancers (diagnosed at subsequent screening examination) from one of the units, 117 women, diagnosed up until July 1993 were identified.
