  2. 1. Irreversible electroporation of pancreatic adenocarcinoma

    Author : Christopher Månsson; Britt-Marie Karlson; Anders Nilsson; Per Hellman; Sara Regnér; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreatic Neoplasms; Electroporation; Interventional Ultrasonography; CA 19-9.;

    Abstract : Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a severe diagnosis with poor prognosis. Radical surgery is the only treatment that can possibly lead to a cure, and even with surgery, the 5-year survival is only 20%–25%. The majority of patients cannot be resected due to metastases or having a tumour that is too advanced locally (LAPC) with encasement of blood-vessels. READ MORE

  4. 2. Complementary and alternative medicine in cancer : from utilization to a randomized controlled trial

    Author : Kathrin Wode; Per Fransson; Roger Henriksson; Lena Sharp; Johanna Hök Nordberg; Vinjar Magne Fønnebø; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Background: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are non-conventional health care approaches used in parallel with or instead of conventional medicine. Little is known about Swedish patients’ patterns of complementary CAM use in the context of cancer. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pancreatic Cancer. Experimental and Clinical Studies

    Abstract : Background: Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal of known cancers and the only treatment with possibility of cure is surgery. The costs associated with treatment of pancreatic cancer are reputably high, both in terms of morbidity and financially. READ MORE

  6. 4. Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms : Aspects of tumour characteristics, receptor recycling and peptide mass

    Author : Ulrika Jahn; Anders Sundin; Mark Lubberink; Ulrike Garske-Román; Mona-Elisabeth Rootwelt-Revheim; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) can arise in any part of the body, but most commonly in the lungs, bronchi, and the gastrointestinal tract including the pancreas. They combine neuroendocrine and tissue-of-origin-specific characteristics; explaining different symptoms depending on the organ of origin. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular Characterization of Genomic Amplifications in Pancreatic Cancer

    Author : Markus Heidenblad; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []

    Abstract : Pancreatic cancer includes multiple histologic subtypes that show large differences in their clinical and biological characteristics. Despite this diversity, more than 85% of the neoplasms in the organ are malignant ductal adenocarcinomas, which are the focus of the present thesis. READ MORE
