  1. 6. Colorectal Liver Metastases. Aspects on Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment

    Författare :Björn O B Ohlsson; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carcinoembryonic antigen; fine-needle aspiration cytology; intraoperative ultrasonography; computed tomography; dearterialization; liver resection; Colorectal cancer; liver metastases; follow-up; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : Liver is the most common site of dissemination in colorectal cancer, and untreated liver metastases are associated with a poor prognosis. The main reason for trying to detect liver metastases early is that liver resection offers a chance for cure in selected patients. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Endosonography and pretreatment tumor profiling - from sampling, staining, to sequencing

    Författare :Per Hedenström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; endosonography; fine-needle biopsy; pancreatic neoplasms; gastrointestinal stromal tumors; KIT; PDGFRA; Ki-67; imatinib; neoadjuvant therapy;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Endosonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is imperfect in diagnosing solid pancreatic lesions (SPL) and subepithelial lesions (SEL) including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). In GISTs, imatinib therapy is effective only in variants of oncogenes KIT and PDGFRA. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Hormones and breast cancer : aspects on receptor expression and metabolism

    Författare :Lars Löfgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Breast cancer; fine needle aspiration biopsy; tamoxifen; megestrol acetate; SHBG; sex steroid hormone receptors; Syndecan-1;

    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in the western world. Sex steroid hormones are implied as risk factors but endocrine regimens are also used in the therapy of breast cancer. Current knowledge about the endocrine and metabolic effects of different treatments is incomplete. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Testosterone and the postmenopausal breast : aspects on cell proliferation and mammographic density

    Författare :Marie Hofling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Menopause; testosterone; breast cell proliferation; fine needle aspiration biopsy; mammographic density; Syndecan-1; androgen receptor; cynomolgus macaques;

    Sammanfattning : The breast is a target organ for sex steroids, and hormonal treatments have been associated with a risk of breast cancer. There is increasing interest in androgen treatment for postmenopausal women. Testosterone has been shown to improve bone density, body composition, mood, psychosexual function and general well-being.

  7. 10. Hormone therapy and the breast : aspects on proliferation, apoptosis and mammographic density

    Författare :Peter Conner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Breast cell proliferation; fine needle aspiration cytology; menopause; hormone replacement therapy; tibolone; mammographic breast density; continuous combined hormone therapy; p53; apoptosis; cynomolgus macaques.;

    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the major malignancy among women in the western world. The breast is clearly a target organ for sex steroid hormones and hormonal treatments have been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Still, basic knowledge as to how sex steroids influence the normal breast is remarkably poor. LÄS MER
