1. 1. Chemoradiation in Gastrointestinal Cancer

   Författare :Adalsteinn Gunnlaugsson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biliary tract cancer; capecitabine; cholangiocarcinoma; chemoradiation; colon cancer; enteritis 5-fluorouracil; gallbladder cancer; oxaliplatin; pancreatic cancer; rectal cancer.;

   Sammanfattning : Locally advanced inextirpable gastrointestinal cancer has poor prognosis and is associated with high morbidity. One treatment option is to use radiotherapy, often combined with chemotherapy (chemoradiation), either as preoperative treatment to facilitate surgery or in the palliative setting to relieve symptoms.

3. 2. Comparative Treatment Planning in Radiotherapy and Clinical Impact of Proton Relative Biological Effectiveness

   Författare :Jonas Johansson; Bengt Glimelius; Anders Montelius; Tony Lomax; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Radiotherapy; Comparative studies; Breast cancer; hypopharyngeal cancer; rectal cancer; Proton RBE; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Sammanfattning : The development of new irradiation techniques is presently a very active field of research with increased availability of more sophisticated modalities such as intensity modulated photons (IMRT), protons and light ions. The primary aim of this work is to evaluate if the dose-distributions using IMRT and protons contribute to clinical advantages. LÄS MER

4. 3. Comparative treatment planning in external radiotherapy of malignant tumours : Potential gains using protons

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Breast cancer; comparative treatment; Ewing sarcoma; oesophageal cancer; protontherapy; radiotherapy; rectal cancer; treatment planning algorithms; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

   Sammanfattning : It is well known that protons have physical characteristics superior to conventional radiation qualities in external beam radiotherapy. The primary aim of this work is to determine if the physical advantages also may lead to clinical advantages. LÄS MER

5. 4. Locally advanced rectal cancer : aspects on management, outcome and quality of life

   Författare :Gabriella Jansson Palmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Locally recurrent rectal cancer; locally advanced primary rectal cancer; survival; radiological staging; MDT;

   Sammanfattning : Rectal cancer is common in Sweden, with about 1650 patients diagnosed annually. In 10-15% of the patients the tumour is locally advanced at diagnosis, i.e. the cancer is growing outside the mesorectal fascia, into adjacent organs in the pelvis. LÄS MER

7. 5. Aspects on local recurrence of rectal cancer

   Författare :Erik Syk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Rectal cancer is a common malignant disease in Sweden which is diagnosed in about 1,800 patients annually. Local failure, defined as residual or recurrent disease within the pelvis, is of major concern in rectal cancer treatment. LÄS MER
