  3. 17. Cancer of the Colon and Rectum : Population Based Survival Analysis and Study on Adverse Effects of Radiation Therapy for Rectal Cancer

    Författare :Helgi Birgisson; Lars Påhlman; Bengt Glimelius; Ulf Gunnarsson; Ragnar Hultborn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Surgery; cancer; colon; rectal; colorectal; survival; radiation therapy; second cancer; adverse effects; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : The Swedish Cancer Register was used to determine the relative survival rate in colon and rectal cancer and to estimate the occurrence of second cancers related to radiation therapy for rectal cancer. The Swedish Hospital Discharge Register and hospital records were used to estimate the rate of late adverse effects due to radiation therapy for rectal cancer. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Comparative Treatment Planning in Radiotherapy and Clinical Impact of Proton Relative Biological Effectiveness

    Författare :Jonas Johansson; Bengt Glimelius; Anders Montelius; Tony Lomax; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Radiotherapy; Comparative studies; Breast cancer; hypopharyngeal cancer; rectal cancer; Proton RBE; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : The development of new irradiation techniques is presently a very active field of research with increased availability of more sophisticated modalities such as intensity modulated photons (IMRT), protons and light ions. The primary aim of this work is to evaluate if the dose-distributions using IMRT and protons contribute to clinical advantages. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Laparoscopic surgery as treatment for rectal cancer

    Författare :John Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rectal neoplasms; Laparoscopy; Quality of life;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, with nearly 1.4 million new cases annually, of which about one third suffer from rectal cancer. Laparoscopic surgery has in several surgical fields shown faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and less pain than open surgery. LÄS MER
