  2. 21. Cardiac side-effects of adjuvant radiotherapy for early breast cancer

    Author : Gábor Gyenes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Early breast cancer; Radiation therapy; Ischemic heart disease; Side-effects; Microvascular domage; Long-term effects; Myocardial disease; Technetium 99-m sestamibi perfusion scintigraphy; Prospective study;

    Abstract : It is well established that adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) reduces loco-regional recurrences in breast cancer. The effect on overall survival on the other hand is much debated. READ MORE

  4. 22. What do you see? : studies on time-limited psychodynamic art psychotherapy

    Abstract : The main purpose of this thesis is to explore experiences of two different psychological interventions based on art psychotherapy in women with a psychological or physical illness. The two interventions are art psychotherapy and art therapy. READ MORE

  5. 23. Dosimetry Studies of Different Radiotherapy Applications using Monte Carlo Radiation Transport Calculations

    Author : Shirin Abbasinejad Enger; Hans Lundqvist; Anders Ahnesjö; Irena Gudowska; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; External Beam Radiotherapy; Gadolinium Neutron Capture Therapy; Gadolinium Neutron Capture Brachytherapy; Targeted Radionuclide therapy; Detector Response Modelling; Monte Carlo Simulation.; Radiological physics; Radiofysik;

    Abstract : Developing radiation delivery systems for optimisation of absorbed dose to the target without normal tissue toxicity requires advanced calculations for transport of radiation. In this thesis absorbed dose and fluence in different radiotherapy applications were calculated by using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. READ MORE

  6. 24. Pro-senescence therapy by targeting MYC and its network as a strategy to combat cancer

    Author : Fan Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer is defined as abnormal cell proliferation with the potential of metastasis and is an increasing threat to global health as the population becomes older. Cancer is triggered by gain-of-function mutations in oncogenes and loss of function mutations in tumor suppressor genes. READ MORE

  7. 25. Cancer after solid organ transplantation : incidence, risk factors, and survival

    Author : Henrik Benoni; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Solid organ transplant recipients (OTRs) are at increased risk of cancer compared with the general population, mainly due to post-transplant immunosuppressive treatment. Furthermore, once diagnosed with cancer, OTRs might experience worse cancerspecific and overall survival than non-transplanted cancer patients. READ MORE
