    Sammanfattning : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignancy of the human kidney, occurring most commonly during the seventh and eighth decades of life. The incidence is high in the Nordic countries and the five year survival is 40-50%. Smoking is a risk factor inferring a minor increase in risk. The best established risk factor is obesity. LÄS MER

  4. 33. Long-term follow-up of patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis

    Författare :Caroline Heijl; Njurmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :Anca-associated vasculitis;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on long-term follow-up results from two cohorts of patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis; one cohort with 535 patients originally included in 4 European randomized clinical trials (papers I and II) and one Swedish population-based cohort including 195 patients (papers III and IV). Two areas are covered in the two cohorts, respectively; the assessment of mortality, prognostic factors and causes of death in the two cohorts (paper I and III) and the assessment of malignancy risk compared with a matched general population (papers II and IV).

  5. 34. DNA content, proliferation markers and histopathology as prognostic factors in Astrocytic tumours

    Författare :Ludek Vavruch; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The DNA index and S-phase fractions obtained from freshly frozen and paraffin-embedded specimens of 49 primary intracranial tumors showed significant correlation. Very similar results were obtained when a subgroup of astrocytomas was analyzed. LÄS MER
