1. 6. Esophageal cancer : evaluation of some new strategies

   Författare :Dag Stockeld; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Esophageal; cancer; fine needle; cytology; prognosis; immunohistochemistry; nutrition; PEG;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: To study and to evaluate new strategies regarding the diagnosis, treatment and nutrition of esophageal cancer patients. Methods: A background retrospective analysis of the files of all 1284 esophageal cancer patients in Stockholm County 1978 - 1995 was performed and followed by a multicenter study of the development and evaluation of a cisplatinum based chemoradiation protocol for the treatment of nonmetastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.

3. 7. Minimally-invasive breast interventions : methods for high yield, low risk, precision biopsy and curative thermal ablation

   Författare :Kai-Uwe Schässburger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Advances in medical imaging and the introduction of population-based screening programs have increased the detection rate and overall proportion of small breast tumors. In addition, progress in technology and medical science, in combination with efforts to minimize morbidity, have resulted in the emergence of minimally invasive image-guided interventional procedures for both diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

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
