    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal liver metastases; liver regeneration; incisional hernia; steatosis; hepatic microcirculation; diffuse reflectance spectroscopy; DRS; sidestream dark-field imaging; SDF; laser speckle contrast imaging; LSCI;

    Sammanfattning : Background & Aims: Primary liver cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. In the western world, the majority of liver malignancies consist of colorectal metastases. Liver resection is the primary treatment for cure in liver tumor disease. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Stromal collagens in colorectal cancer and in colorectal liver metastases : tumour biological implications and a source for novel tumour markers

    Författare :Hanna Nyström; Malin Sund; Peter Naredi; Per Sandström; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Colorectal cancer; colorectal liver metastases; tumour marker; stroma; type IV collagen; metastatic growth pattern; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. About 50 % of patients with CRC will develop subsequent liver metastases (CLM). The survival for untreated CLM is only a few months and liver resection provides the only chance for a lasting cure. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Transarterial chemoembolization in primary liver and kidney malignancies

    Författare :Amar Karalli; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, and the most current treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma is transarterial chemoembolization using drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE). The concept of TACE might also technically be applicable to other types of hypervascular cancers such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC). LÄS MER

  5. 24. The role of p53 in tumor progression and prognosis in patients with primary colorectal cancer

    Författare :Ann Forslund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; p53; colorectal cancer; prognosis; mutation;

    Sammanfattning : Mutation in TP53 is the most common genetic alteration in human cancer. Alterations in p53 has mostly been related to poor prognosis in colorectal cancer, but this observation has not always been confirmed. The aim of the present study was to analyse the role of p53 in tumor progression and prognosis in colorectal cancer. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Liver transplantation, cancer risk and comorbidity in acute porphyria

    Författare :Mattias Lissing; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The porphyrias are a group of rare, mostly genetic, metabolic diseases caused by alterations in the eight enzymatic steps of the heme biosynthesis pathway. This thesis focuses on three of these diseases, acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), hereditary coproporhyria (HCP) and variegate porphyria (VP), collectively labeled acute porphyrias (AP) based on similarities in clinical and biochemical presentation.
