  1. 31. Quality of life after esophageal cancer surgery

    Författare :Pernilla Viklund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cancer; complications; esophageal neoplasm; gastric cardia; register; supportive care; surgery; quality of life.;

    Sammanfattning : The principal aim of this research was to find ways to improve the quality of life of esophageal cancer patients after surgical treatment and to reduce persisting symptoms that often occur after that procedure. Since esophageal cancer surgery is extensive and carries a poor long-term prognosis, it is relevant to assess quality of life and complications as outcome measures. LÄS MER

  3. 32. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging of the breast : imaging features for diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer

    Författare :Botond K Szabo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Breast neoplasm; magnetic resonance imaging; prognostic factors; survival analysis; image segmentation; artificial neural networks;

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of the present thesis was to identify and study dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) features that contribute to the diagnosis and may help in predicting prognosis in breast cancer. Study I studied the kinetic and morphological MR features and their diagnostic power were studied in a total of 92 women with 109 histopathologically verified breast lesions. LÄS MER

  5. 34. New evidence on germ-cell testicular cancer aetiology

    Författare :Lorenzo Richiardi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Testicular neoplasm; Seminomas; Nonseminomas; Case-control study; Risk factors; Perinatal characteristics; Body size; Subfertility; Occurrence.;

    Sammanfattning : Testicular cancer has been increasing in incidence for at least 50 years in many populations, but its etiology remains elusive. We investigated several prenatal and postnatal factors in association with germ-cell testicular cancer risk. Moreover, we evaluated recent trends in testicular cancer incidence in Northern European countries. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Cancer of the urinary organs is one of the more common cancer forms in Sweden, with bladder cancer as the fourth most common cancer among men, and the seventh most common among women. The bladder cancer incidence is rising with age and is seldom seen before 50 years of age. LÄS MER
