  1. 1. Radiation induced pneumonitis : clinical and experimental studies with special emphasis on the effect of smoking

    Författare :Kenneth Nilsson; Leif Bjerner; roger Henriksson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pneumonitis; irradiation; bronchoalveolar lavage; breast cancer; interstitial lung disease; hyaluronan; mast cell; smoking;

    Sammanfattning : Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is an established method providing diagnostic support and evaluation of disease activity in interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aims of the present investigation were 1) to study the inflammatory response in pneumonitis evoked by irradiation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Stereotactic body radiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer

    Författare :Pia Baumann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Stereotactic body radiotherapy; non-small cell lung cancer; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; cardiovascular disease; normal tissue complication probability; pneumonitis; local tumour control; overall survival;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with stage I non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are potentially curable. Eradication of the primary tumour is a prerequisite for cure with surgery as standard treatment. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Cardiac and pulmonary side-effects of radiotherapy in early breast cancer

    Författare :Ulla Blom Goldman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :breast cancer;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to study early and late side-effects to lung and heart in adjuvant locoregionalradiation therapy (LRRT) of early breast cancer (BC). Papers I-III were intervention studies aiming to reduce symptomatic/ radiological pneumonitis and functional changes after LRRT by applyingthe ipsilateral lung dose volume constraint V20 ≤ 30 %.

  5. 4. Polyurethane - occupational exposure, biomarkers and symptoms

    Författare :Margareta Littorin; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; spray; polyurethane; nose; metabolites; lung function ; lower airways; inflammation; heat; glue; genetic polymorphism; di isocyanate; Antibodies; biomarkers; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Yrkesmedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin; symptoms;

    Sammanfattning : Isocyanates may cause occupational asthma, rhinitis, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. However, the mechanisms behind initiation of the disorders and the relations between exposure and effect are insufficiently elucidated. Means to biomonitor exposure and risk would be valuable.

  7. 5. Comparative treatment planning in external radiotherapy of malignant tumours : Potential gains using protons

    Författare :Ulf Isacsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    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
