  1. 1. Cancer in organ transplant recipients

    Författare :Caroline Stenman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; organ transplantation; skin cancer; heart transplantation; lung transplantation;

    Sammanfattning : Tens of thousands of transplantations are performed around the world each year. Organ transplant recipients (OTR) are obliged to receive life-long medical treatment with immunosuppressive drugs to ensure graft function. However, such medications entail an increased risk of developing a broad spectrum of malignancies, especially skin cancer. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Selected aspects on improving the management of skin cancer

    Författare :John Paoli; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :skin cancer; malignant melanoma; squamous cell carcinoma; basal cell carcinoma; multiphoton laser scanning microscopy; penile intraepithelial neoplasia; photodynamic therapy; nerve block; field cancerization; screening; prevention;

    Sammanfattning : The constant rise of skin cancer incidence rates in Sweden is a problem which requires attention. Improved techniques for prevention, early detection and effective treatment are required to face this challenging task. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Towards a broader use of phototesting : in research, clinical practice and skin cancer prevention

    Författare :Magnus Falk; Chris Anderson; Karin Wårdell; Olle Lärkö; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Phototesting; divergent beam; skin cancer prevention; self-reading; minimal erythema dose; sun protection behaviour; Dermatology and venerology; Dermatologi och venerologi;

    Sammanfattning : In western societies, skin cancer incidence has increased dramatically over recent decades, due predominantly to increased sun exposure habits. Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure and individual light sensitivity of the skin constitute two important factors affecting the risk for skin cancer development. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Understanding Skin Cancer Risk and Prevention : with Emphasis on Actinic Keratosis Patients

    Författare :Ghassan Guorgis; Magnus Falk; Chris Anderson; Magdalena Claeson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The rising incidence of skin cancer globally makes it important to emphasize preventive measures that promote sun protection, particularly among individuals with phenotypic predisposition and/or risky sun habits. Actinic keratosis (AK) is the predominant actinic lesion observed in fair-skinned populations, recognized as a sign of actinic skin damage and as an occasional precursor to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

  7. 5. DNA Damage Response of Normal Epidermis in the Clinical Setting of Fractionated Radiotherapy : Evidence of a preserved low-dose hypersensitivity response

    Författare :Fredrik Qvarnström; Ingela Turesson; Gunilla Enblad; Mats Harms-Ringdahl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DNA damage response; low-dose hypersensitivity; dose response; normal tissue; epidermis; keratinocyte; fractionated radiotherapy; DNA double strand break; DSB; foci; γH2AX; 53BP1; checkpoint; p21; apoptosis; mitosis; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Investigations of DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms in normal tissues have implications for both cancer prevention and treatments. The accumulating knowledge about protein function and molecular markers makes it possible to directly trace and interpret cellular DDR in a tissue context. LÄS MER
