  1. 36. Head and Neck Cancer: Studies on microvessel density, radiation response and FDG PET

    Författare :Eva Brun; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; positron emission tomography PET ; 2-18 fluoro deoxy glucose FDG ; radiotherapy; microvessel density; Head and neck cancer; therapy response; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Treatment options of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) usually include combinations of radiotherapy and surgery, and in some cases addition of chemotherapy. In locally advanced cases cure rates are low. Current prognostic factors cannot foresee the outcome for the individual patient. LÄS MER

  3. 37. Vascular endothelial growth factor in renal cell carcinoma

    Författare :Jan Jacobsen; Börje Ljungberg; Kjell Grankvist; Torgny Rasmuson; Anders Bergh; Peter Ekman; Umeå universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Background. Angiogenesis is essential for tumour growth. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its isoforms were investigated in relation to the clinical course in a large number of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods. LÄS MER

  4. 38. Indicators of colorectal cancer prognosis and response to preoperative radiotherapy

    Författare :Gunnar Adell; Olof Lannerstad; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer is one of the three most common malignant diseases in Sweden, with about 5,000 new cases each year. Thirty-five percent of these are rectal cancer, for which local recurrence after surgery has been a serious problem. The five-year survival rate in colorectal cancer has improved from about 40% in 1960 to 55% in 1995. LÄS MER

  5. 39. Outcome of preoperative radiotherapy in the treatment of cervical cancer with focus on protein expression and dosimetry

    Författare :Catharina Beskow; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Treatment with preoperative intracavitary radiotherapy (ICRT) is used in cervical cancer with the intention to reduce the tumour burden and sterilize microscopic disease in the paracervical tissues. Preoperative ICRT is, however, a controversial treatment regime since it is unclear if addition of ICRT to surgery improves treatment outcome compared to surgery alone. LÄS MER

  7. 40. Urinary bladder carcinoma, preclinical and clinical studies on EGFR based targeting

    Författare :Peter Bue; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; urinary bladder carcinoma; epidermal growth factor-dextran; radionuclide therapy; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; kirurgi; särskilt urologi; Urology;

    Sammanfattning : Radical cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy is the standard treatment for muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Despite presumably localised malignancies and efficacious management about 50% of patients will die within 5 years, the majority due to metastatic disease. LÄS MER
