  2. 1. Searching for Synergy : Radiosensitization of 177Lu-DOTATATE

    Author : Sara Lundsten; Marika Nestor; Hanna Björkelund; Katarina Edwards; Julie Nonnekens; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; targeted radionuclide therapy; radiosensitization; p53; MDM2 MDM4 inhibition; HSP90; drug synergy; drug delivery; lipid nanoparticles; lipodisks; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Cancers presents a major health challenge, and there is a pressing need to develop new therapeutic strategies. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are the most commonly used treatments for cancer today. Radiation can be given as targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT), i.e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Immunological aspects of intratumoral chemotherapy and immunotherapy in malignant brain tumors

    Author : Julio Enriquez Perez; Neurokirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glioblastoma GBM ; Immunotherapy; Mouse glioma; Convection-enhanced delivery; Intratumoral chemotherapy; Glioblastom; Immuneterapi;

    Abstract : Advances in surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy have only modestly improved survival rates of malignant brain tumor patients during the last decades. Emerging evidence suggests that an efficient treatment of malignant brain tumors will likely require the management of multiple aspects of tumor pathobiology in order to manipulate features as tumor heterogeneity and tumor immunosuppression.

  5. 3. Helical tomotherapy for total marrow and total skin irradiation : Optimisation, verification, and clinical results

    Author : André Änghede Haraldsson; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALL; Leukemia; radiotherapy; hematology; Oncology; Leukemia; radiotherapy; Tomotherapy; Oncology; ALL;

    Abstract : In modern cancer therapy, radiotherapy (RT) is a vital part of most treatments. Most RT treatments in Sweden are performed using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with fixed or dynamic arc delivery. The dose gradients outside the target are steep, the margins are small, and the treatment delivery is complicated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biopharmaceutical Evaluation of Intra-arterial Drug-Delivery Systems for Liver Cancer : Investigations in healthy pigs and liver cancer patients

    Author : Elsa Lilienberg; Hans Lennernäs; Erik Sjögren; Niklas Axén; Helen M. Burt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; in vivo release; drug delivery systems; local delivery; drug disposition; doxorubicin; hepatocellular carcinoma; transarterial chemoembolization; transarterial chemotherapy infusion; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap;

    Abstract : There are currently two types of intra-arterial drug-delivery system (DDS) in clinical use in the palliative treatment of primary liver cancer. The chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) can be formulated into a drug-in-lipiodol emulsion (LIPDOX) or a microparticulate drug-eluting bead system (DEBDOX). READ MORE

  7. 5. Pharmacometric Models for Improved Prediction of Myelosuppression and Treatment Response in Oncology

    Author : Angelica L Quartino; Mats O Karlsson; Lena E Friberg; Etienne Chatelut; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacometrics; oncology; myelosuppression; chemotherapy; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi;

    Abstract : Chemotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of cancer. However, these drugs also cause death of non-malignant cells, resulting in severe side-effects. In addition, drug resistance may exist. Predictive tools for dose and drug selection are therefore warranted. READ MORE
