  1. 21. Prediction of survival in prostate cancer : aspects on localised, locally advanced and metastatic disease

    Författare :David Robinson; Eberhard Varenhorst; Börje Ljungberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Protstate cancer; oncology; PSA diagnosisk; TNM classification; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: The clinical course of prostate cancer is highly variable and difficult to predict.Stage at presentation, grade and PSA at diagnosis are traditionally used to predict outcome. The aimof this thesis was to identify strategies for improved survival prediction in men with prostate cancer. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Nonlinearity mitigation in phase-sensitively amplified optical transmission links

    Författare :Kovendhan Vijayan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; copier-PSA; nonlinearity mitigation; phase-sensitive amplifier; self-phase modulation mitigation; low-noise amplification; optical transmission; crossphase modulation mitigation;

    Sammanfattning : The fundamental limitations in fiber-optic communication are caused by optical amplifier noise and the nonlinear response of the optical fibers. The quantum-limited noise figure of erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) or any phase-insensitive amplifier is 3 dB. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Dose Escalation with High Dose Rate Brachytherapy or Protons in Curative Radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer

    Författare :Lennart Åström; Lars Holmberg; Gunilla Enblad; Henrik Grönberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; radiotherapy; brachytherapy; high dose rate; protons; PSA bounce;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to study the outcome and side effects after dose-escalated radiotherapy with high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) or proton beam therapy (PBT) boost in prostate cancer.The first cohorts of men in Sweden treated with either HDR-BT or PBT in combination with conventional photon beam therapy (2 Gray (Gy) fractions to 50 Gy) were analysed.

  5. 24. Att leva med lokaliserad prostatacancer : "oss män emellan"

    Författare :Oliver Hedestig; Anders Widmark; Per-Olof Sandman; Carina Berterö; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; localized prostate cancer; stigmatization; choice of treatment; urinary incontinence; sexual dysfunction; control; identity; PSA test; phenomenological hermeneutics; qualitative content analysis; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to explore how men experience living with localized prostate cancer. It includes four substudies carried out between 1997 and 2005. To gather data, the men were interviewed at home and the interviews were recorded. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Induction of t-cell responses against PSA by plasmid DNA immunization

    Författare :Maxim Pavlenko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Prostate-specific antigen; DNA vaccine; cytotoxic T lymphocytes;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on using plasmid DNA encoding human prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for immunotherapy of prostate cancer. PSA is a secreted serine protease, which is produced almost exclusively by prostate epithelial cells. LÄS MER
