  2. 11. Quantitative analysis of tumor growth and response to therapy

    Author : Esmaeil Mehrara; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tumor; growth; response; therapy; modeling; clinical;

    Abstract : Modeling the natural growth of tumors is of value for evaluation of tumor progression and optimization of treatment strategies. However, modeling tumor growth based on clinical data is hampered by the limited data available, since therapy is in general initiated as early as possible after diagnosis. READ MORE

    Abstract : This dissertation presents a contribution to quantitative microwave imaging for breast tumor detection. The study made in the frame of a joint supervision Ph.D. thesis between University Paris-SUD 11 (France) and Mälardalen University (Sweden), has been conducted through two experimental microwave imaging setups, the existing 2.

  5. 13. Theranostics in Neuroendocrine Tumors : Somatostatin Receptor Imaging and Therapy

    Author : Ezgi Ilan; Mark Lubberink; Peter Bernhardt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 177Lu-DOTATATE; 68Ga-DOTATATE; 68Ga-DOTATOC; PRRT; Theranostics; PET CT; SPECT CT; Neuroendocrine tumors; Somatostatin receptors; Medicinsk radiofysik; Medical Radiophysics;

    Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are characterized by cellular overexpression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR), which allows for the use of radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSA) for both imaging and therapy. Because NETs often are diagnosed at a metastatic stage, curative surgery is not possible. READ MORE

  6. 14. Radiolabeled HER-2 Binding Affibody Molecules for Tumor Targeting : Preclinical Studies

    Author : Ann-Charlott Steffen; Jörgen Carlsson; Vladimir Tolmachev; Lars Gedda; Ragnar Hultborn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicine; HER-2; affibody; 211At; tumor targeting; targeted radiotherapy; molecular imaging; Biomedicin; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Conventional cancer treatment based on radiotherapy or chemotherapy affects all dividing cells. By directing the therapy specifically to the tumor cells, normal cells can be spared. Tumor targeting molecules carrying a cytotoxic moiety is then an attractive approach. READ MORE

  7. 15. Model-based Approaches to Diffuse Optical Imaging and Dosimetry

    Author : Johan Axelsson; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photodynamic therapy; diffuse light propagation; fluorescence; imaging; dosimetry; inverse problem;

    Abstract : The work within this thesis investigates Photodynamic therapy and Fluorescence imaging for therapeutics and visualization of deeply embedded lesions. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment modality that can eradicate tumors when light, a photosensible drug and oxygen are present. READ MORE
