1. Multiparametric MRI for evaluation of tumour treatment response : Studies of 177Lu-octreotate therapy of neuroendocrine tumour
Sammanfattning : Clinical assessment of tumour response to treatment largely relies on estimates of tumour size by, e.g., measuring the largest tumour diameters on magnetic resonance (MR) or computed tomography (CT) images, weeks or months after treatment. LÄS MER
2. Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) of breast cancer - Methodology and immunological responce
Sammanfattning : Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) is an attractive form of local therapy against cancer because of its anti-tumor immune activity. The aim of this work was to evaluate ILT in breast cancer with respect to technique, changes in tissue immunocompetent cells and effect on prognosis. LÄS MER
3. Specific anti-tumour effects of 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) on carcinoid tumour cells
Sammanfattning : Glutamine is essential for cell growth. 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) is a rather old anti-tumour drug developed as a glutamine antagonist. Previous clinical trials with DON, not including carcinoid tumours, did not prove convincing. Hence the drug was not further used. LÄS MER
4. Multicellular Tumour Spheroids in a Translational PET Imaging Strategy
Sammanfattning : Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has gained an important roll in clinical for diagnosis, staging and prognosis of a range of cancer types. Utilization of PET for monitoring and evaluation of cancer treatment is an attractive but almost new concept. The proper choice of PET-tracer as a biomarker for treatment follow-up is crucial.

5. Tumour stromal and demographical factors affecting the metastatic aggressiveness of small differentiated papillary thyroid cancers in Sweden
Sammanfattning : Background: The incidence of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has been increasing over the recent decades, especially that of small papillary thyroid cancers (sPTCs) (≤ 20mm in size). sPTCs are generally classified as low risk cancers with a very favourable diagnosis, yet some of these cancers still cause locoregional and distant metastasis, recurrence and even death.
