1. Clinical aspects of Adrenalectomy
Sammanfattning : Annual rates of adrenalectomy have doubled in the last 20 years as a consequence of increased detection of adrenal incidentalomas, improved biochemical diagnosis, genetic screening, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Most adrenal incidentalomas are benign non-functional adrenocortical adenomas. LÄS MER
2. Renal cell carcinoma : factors of importance for follow-up and survival
Sammanfattning : Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is most lethal of the urological cancers, with more than 40% dying of the disease. About 30% of the patients have metastases at initial diagnosis and up to 40% undergoing nephrectomy for localized RCC develop metastasis. LÄS MER

4. Incidentally discovered adrenal tumours, adrenal metastases and pheochromocytomas - Clinical and epidemiological aspects
Sammanfattning : With increasing use of high resolution radiological imaging incidentally discovered adrenal tumours (adrenal incidentalomas, AI) have become a common clinical problem. The aim of work-up and follow-up of patients with AI is to detect malignant (primary or metastatic) and/or hormone-producing tumours. LÄS MER
5. Primary aldosteronism studies on screening, outcome of adrenalectomy and functional pathology
Sammanfattning : This thesis comprises four studies with the general aim to improve the management of patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). PA is a hypertensive disorder due to autonomous secretion of aldosterone from one or both adrenal glands. LÄS MER
