1. Cytoreductive Surgery and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Patients with Peritoneal Metastases from Colorectal Cancer : Aspects of loco-regional treatment outcome, patient selection, and chemo-sensitivity
Sammanfattning : Previously, peritoneal metastases(PM) from colorectal cancer(CRC) have been considered a terminal and generalised form of cancer. A new treatment strategy combining cytoreductive surgery(CRS) and intraperitoneal chemotherapy(IPC) has recently shown promising results. LÄS MER
2. Loco-regional Treatment of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: Survival, Morbidity and Quality of Life
Sammanfattning : Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is traditionally regarded as a terminal stage of disease with a poor prognosis and systemic chemotherapy is regarded as palliative treatment. In order to improve survival and even to achieve cure for selected patients with PC, cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal che-motherapy have been advocated. LÄS MER
3. HIPECology : Aspects of Postoperative Morbidity Following the HIPEC Procedure
Sammanfattning : Peritoneal surface malignancy (PM), regardless of the dissemination site, was once considered a terminal condition. However, the introduction of a surgical approach with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with or without early intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) shifted the attitude from managing the symptoms of PM to disease treatment with curative intent.

4. Colorectal and appendiceal peritoneal metastases : From population studies to genetics
Sammanfattning : Peritoneal dissemination of colorectal and appendiceal origin was previously considered the end-stage of malignant disease. Today, treatment with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has prolonged survival and cured some patients with peritoneal metastases (PM).

5. Efficient Algorithms for Graph-Theoretic and Geometric Problems
Sammanfattning : This thesis studies several different algorithmic problems in graph theory and in geometry. The applications of the problems studied range from circuit design optimization to fast matrix multiplication. First, we study a graph-theoretical model of the so called ''firefighter problem''.
