    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with recognition and elimination of tumours by T lymphocytes and their use in adoptive immunotherapy.The first tumour-draining lymph node; the sentinel node, is identified by peritumoural injection of a tracer. This is the hypothesised location for the activation of tumour-reactive lymphocytes. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :sentinel node biopsy;

    Sammanfattning : Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinoma (VSCC) can be divided into two subgroups basaloid and/or warty (HPV-associated) and keratinizing/non-keratinizing carcinomas (not HPV-associated). The inguinal lymph node status represents the most powerful prognostic factor. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Vulvar cancer : patterns of recurrence, quality of life and extended indications for the sentinel node technique

    Författare :Diana Zach; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Vulvar cancer is a rare malignancy and few studies have addressed the course of disease and the impact of physical and psychological symptoms on healthrelated quality of life (HRQOL) over time. In addition, extending the indication for sentinel node biopsy in vulvar cancer requires further evaluation. LÄS MER
