Furthermore, once diagnosed with cancer, OTRs might experience worse cancerspecific and overall survival than non-transplanted cancer patients. LÄS MER
2. Primary immunodeficiency in southern Sweden. Strategies for diagnosis and clinical management

3. Studies on infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) in immunosuppressed patients and patients with HPV related tumors
Sammanfattning : Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been detected in over 90% of all cervical cancers, in 35-70% of anal cancers and in about 10% of tumors of the head and neck. The immune system plays an important role in the manifestation of HPV infections and it is known that organ transplant patients have an increase in HPV associated lesions. LÄS MER
4. Suggested next steps to prevent cervical cancer after surgical treatment for high-grade cervical dysplasia
Sammanfattning : The risk of cervical cancer among women treated for high-grade cervical dysplasia is more than twofold compared with the general population, and this risk remains elevated for over two decades. In Sweden, cervical cancer incidence is rising again and the risk of cervical cancer among women with a prior history of high-grade cervical dysplasia has increased since the 1960s. LÄS MER
