  1. 1. Helicobacter pylori and its Association with Gastric and Oesophageal Carcinomas

    Författare :Henrik Simán; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gastroenterologi; Gastro-enterology; Western blot; CagA; Helicobacter pylori; Gastric adenocarcinoma; Oesophageal carcinoma;

    Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common infections in man. The infection is often acquired during childhood and usually results in a chronic life-long inflammation in the gastric mucosa. The aim of our studies was to investigate the association between H. pylori seropositivity and the development of gastric and oesophageal carcinomas. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Health related quality of life and swallowing problems in oesophageal cancer

    Författare :Berit Sunde; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Oesophageal cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Poor overall survival, swallowing problems and severe side-effects from multi-modality treatment characterize the situation of patients with oesophageal and gastro oesophageal junction carcinoma (GOJ). With the poor prognosis and abundance of symptoms in this disease it is particularly important to consider health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as an important outcome in clinical decision-making.

  4. 3. Bile in the oesophagus contributes to the development and complications of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease

    Författare :Jacob Freedman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Gastro- oesophageal reflux disease; duodeno- gastro- oesophageal reflux; bile; oesophagitis; cholecystectomy; ulcer; oesophageal motility; bilitec; normal values;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: To clarify the relationship between duodenogastro- oesophageal reflux (DGOR) and gastro- oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and its complications. Methods: As persons who have had their gallbladders removed have been shown to have an increased incidence of duodenogastric reflux, one would expect them to have an increased incidence of DGOR.

  5. 4. Comparative treatment planning in external radiotherapy of malignant tumours : Potential gains using protons

    Författare :Ulf Isacsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Breast cancer; comparative treatment; Ewing sarcoma; oesophageal cancer; protontherapy; radiotherapy; rectal cancer; treatment planning algorithms; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : It is well known that protons have physical characteristics superior to conventional radiation qualities in external beam radiotherapy. The primary aim of this work is to determine if the physical advantages also may lead to clinical advantages. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment and the risk of gastric and oesophageal cancer

    Författare :Eva Doorakkers; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori is a strong and well-established risk factor for gastric cancer, but seems to decrease the risk of oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Thus, eradication treatment for Helicobacter pylori may decrease the risk of gastric cancer, and increase the risk of oesophageal adenocarcinoma. LÄS MER
