  1. 16. Predictors of Lymph Node Metastasis in Primary Breast Cancer - Risk Models for Tailored Axillary Management

    Författare :Looket Dihge; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast Cancer; Axillary lymph node dissection; Sentinel lymph node biopsy; Ultrasonography; Nomogram; Artificial neural network; Gene Expression; Prediction model;

    Sammanfattning : Most patients with breast cancer present with low-risk tumors, node-negative disease, and excellent prognosis. For these patients, routine axillary nodal staging by sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has no therapeutic benefit. For patients with limited sentinel lymph node metastasis, completion axillary nodal dissection is controversial. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Utility of hybrid SPECT/CT in sentinel lymph node mapping, and [18]F FDG-PET/CT for treatment response evaluation in cancer patients

    Författare :Stefan Gabrielson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) method is currently well established in the staging of clinically node-negative breast cancer. However, there is some debate concerning the reliability of this method following previous breast surgery. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Application of nuclear medicine methods in patients with breast cancer

    Författare :Brigitte Wilczek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Breast neoplasm; neoadjuvant chemotherapy; radionuelide investigation; sentinel node; SPECT;

    Sammanfattning : While physical examination, mammography and aspiration cytology or core biopsy form the basis in the diagnosis of breast cancer, additional examinations are sometimes required in the evaluation of unclear breast masses. The study deals with the application and evaluation of different nuclear medicine techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Development of Magnetomotive Ultrasound Imaging

    Författare :Maria Evertsson; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Magnetomotive ultrasound; molecular imaging; contrast angents; multimodal imaging; sentinel lymph node;

    Sammanfattning : The earlier abnormalities coupled with disease can be discovered in the body, the larger is the chance to survive the disease. Molecular imaging is a growing research field which aims to detect these abnormalities at a molecular level, when the chance of survival is still high. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Human colorectal cancer : experimental staging and therapeutics

    Författare :Kjell Dahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of death in cancer worldwide and approximately one million individuals are diagnosed yearly. Surgery is the primary cure, and if that s not feasible, only palliative therapy remains. Colorectal cancer disseminates into peritumoral lymphatic vessels and further into the regional lymph nodes.
