    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in men and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Sweden. Despite the major advances, the current diagnostic modalities fall short of standards, specifically, precise localization required for effective management of the PCa. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PC) is often a slow-growing and symptom-free disease with good prognosis. However, a substantial number will progress, ultimately metastasize if left untreated and finally kill the patient. The standard treatment for these stages of PC is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which generally has an initially good clinical response. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Background: The first-line treatment for patients with advanced prostate cancer (PC) is androgen deprivation therapy. This therapy is initially effective, but after some time tumors relapse, predominantly within the bone, and are then termed castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). LÄS MER
