  1. 1. Clinical and Experimental Studies in Peritoneal Metastases from Gastric Cancer

    Författare :Bo Hultman; Haile Mahteme; Bruno Walther; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gastric cancer; peritoneal metastases; peritoneal carcinomatosis; epidemiology; prognostic factor; survival; neoadjuvant chemotherapy; cytoreductive surgery; HIPEC; health economy; costs; systemic chemotherapy; cultured tumor cells; fluorometric analysis; cancer drug tests; chemo-sensitivity; anti tumor drugs.; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Gastric cancer (GC) is one of leading causes of death in the world, and peritoneal metastases (PM) are a major site of recurrence. PM from GC implies a poor prognosis, with median overall survival (mOS) approximately 3 months and no survival at five years. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Hepatic and Peritoneal Colorectal Metastases : Aspects of Prognosis and Treatment

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Colorectal cancer; lever metastas; peritoneal metastas; intraperitoneal; tumör reduktion; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Although two-thirds of colorectal cancer patients are cured by surgery, approximately 50% of the patients with this disease develop locally recurrent or distant metastases during the course of their illness. The aim of this study was to identify metastatic sites associated with poor prognosis in rectal cancer and then to investigate methods that can prevent the development and growth of metastases and optimise uptake of drugs at these sites in animal models.

  4. 3. Colorectal and appendiceal peritoneal metastases : From population studies to genetics

    Författare :Malin Enblad; Helgi Birgisson; Wilhelm Graf; Peter Matthiessen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peritoneal metastases; Peritoneal carcinomatosis; Pseudomyxoma peritonei; Colorectal cancer; Appendiceal cancer; Cytoreductive surgery; HIPEC; Appendicitis;

    Sammanfattning : Peritoneal dissemination of colorectal and appendiceal origin was previously considered the end-stage of malignant disease. Today, treatment with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has prolonged survival and cured some patients with peritoneal metastases (PM).

  5. 4. Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor : A Rare Malignancy with Favorable Outcome

    Författare :Olov Norlén; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Peyman Björklund; Anders Sundin; Peter Naredi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroendocrine tumor; peritoneal carcinomatosis; single nucleotide polymorphism array; liver metastases; radiofrequency ablation; liver surgery; positron emission tomography; somatostatin analogs; cholecystectomy; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET) is the most common small bowel tumor in Europe and USA, with an annual incidence of around 0.3-1.3/100000 persons. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Cytoreductive Surgery and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Patients with Peritoneal Metastases from Colorectal Cancer : Aspects of loco-regional treatment outcome, patient selection, and chemo-sensitivity

    Författare :Peter H Cashin; Haile Mahteme; Wilhelm Graf; Peter Nygren; Frans Zoetmulder; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Previously, peritoneal metastases(PM) from colorectal cancer(CRC) have been considered a terminal and generalised form of cancer. A new treatment strategy combining cytoreductive surgery(CRS) and intraperitoneal chemotherapy(IPC) has recently shown promising results. LÄS MER
