  1. 6. Extratumoral effects of highly aggressive prostate cancer

    Författare :Kerstin Strömvall; Anders Bergh; Sofia Halin Bergström; Göran Landberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; tumor instructed normal tissue; TINT; non-malignant prostate tissue; lymph nodes; lymph node metastasis; pre-metastatic niche; tumor microenvironment; tumor macroenvironment; tumor immunoediting; Dunning rat model of prostate cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer in Sweden. Most patients have slow growing tumors that will not cause them any harm within their lifetime, but some have aggressive tumors and will die from their disease. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Nuclear medicine imaging of breast cancer and regional lymph nodes

    Författare :Rimma Danielsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :breast neoplasm; scintimammography; diagnostic accuracy; triple diagnosis; axillary lymph node metastases;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore the role of nuclear medicine in diagnosis of primary breast carcinoma and regional lymph node involvement. The introduction includes a review over nuclear medicine techniques currently under investigation. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Colorectal Cancer : Audit and Health Economy in Colorectal Cancer Surgery in a Defined Swedish Population

    Författare :Pia Jestin; Ulf Gunnarsson; Lars Påhlman; Bengt Glimelius; Jörgen Rutegård; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; colorectal cancer; colon cancer; rectal cancer; epidemiology; quality assurance; quality control; health economy; survival; hospital category; emergency surgery; lymph nodes; tumour staging; anastomotic leakage; case-control study; surgical complications; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in Sweden, with more than 5000 new cases annually. Median age at time of diagnosis is approximately 75 years. Owing to the ageing population, the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Ultrasound examination of lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament with special emphasis on patients with chronic liver diseases

    Författare :Kerstin Lyttkens; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ultrasound diagnosis; magnetic resonance imaging; hepato-duodenal ligament; lymph node enlargement; biliary cirrhosis; chronic active hepatitis; humoral immunoreactivity; hepatocellular damage; cholestasis.;

    Sammanfattning : The significance of finding lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament on ultrasound, with special emphasis on patients with inflammatory liver disease, has been evaluated. In one study a comparison was made with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is another non-invasive imaging modality without the hazards of ionizing radiation. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Predictors of Lymph Node Metastasis in Primary Breast Cancer - Risk Models for Tailored Axillary Management

    Författare :Looket Dihge; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast Cancer; Axillary lymph node dissection; Sentinel lymph node biopsy; Ultrasonography; Nomogram; Artificial neural network; Gene Expression; Prediction model;

    Sammanfattning : Most patients with breast cancer present with low-risk tumors, node-negative disease, and excellent prognosis. For these patients, routine axillary nodal staging by sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has no therapeutic benefit. For patients with limited sentinel lymph node metastasis, completion axillary nodal dissection is controversial. LÄS MER
