    Abstract : Muscle-invasive urinary bladder cancer is a deadly disease. Mortality rates remained unchanged for decades despite radical surgery.After several randomized trials, we today know that cisplatin based chemotherapy given prior to cystectomy, improves survival for every tenth patient.

  4. 2. Clinical and Experimental Studies in Peritoneal Metastases from Gastric Cancer

    Author : Bo Hultman; Haile Mahteme; Bruno Walther; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gastric cancer; peritoneal metastases; peritoneal carcinomatosis; epidemiology; prognostic factor; survival; neoadjuvant chemotherapy; cytoreductive surgery; HIPEC; health economy; costs; systemic chemotherapy; cultured tumor cells; fluorometric analysis; cancer drug tests; chemo-sensitivity; anti tumor drugs.; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Gastric cancer (GC) is one of leading causes of death in the world, and peritoneal metastases (PM) are a major site of recurrence. PM from GC implies a poor prognosis, with median overall survival (mOS) approximately 3 months and no survival at five years. READ MORE

    Abstract : Background Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer related death worldwide. 20-30 % of patients will develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs). Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for CRLMs, and is often combined with perioperative chemotherapy, which can prolong progression-free survival after resection. READ MORE
