2. 1. Colorectal cancer : Aspects of staging, treatment, recurrence and survival

   Author : Åsa Collin; Joakim Folkesson; Wilhelm Graf; Malin Enblad; Marie-Louise Lydrup; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy in the world, and major breakthroughs have been made regarding both surgical and oncological treatment. Still, postoperative complications, such as perineal infections after abdominoperineal resection (APR), are a major cause of morbidity, and distant recurrence rate is nearly 20%. READ MORE

   Abstract : Background: Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages, and its mortality is high. Surgical treatment of advanced ovarian cancer strives toward complex primary debulking surgery (PDS), aiming for complete cytoreduction (R0) and improved survival. READ MORE

5. 3. Pancreatic carcinoma in Malmö, Sweden: Clinical, epidemiological and biochemical aspects

   Author : Mats Hedberg; Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kirurgi; Pancreatic carcinoma; survival rate; epidemiology; incidence rate; risk factors; smoking; weight gain; gastric resection; cholecystokinin; Surgery; pancreatic enzymes; traumatology; traumatologi; ortopedi; orthopaedics;

   Abstract : The objective of this thesis has been to assess whether there are indications suggesting that new methods for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic carcinoma (PCa) has been followed by an improved prognosis, and to assess the possible role of smoking and gastric resection in the causation of the disease. Of the 1,200 new cases PCa diagnosed in Sweden yearly, the majority are older than 70 years, the case fatality rate being close to 100%. READ MORE

6. 4. Registry-Based Studies in Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Sweden : Survival and Quality of Life

   Abstract : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a common child malignancy, also constitutes a minor fraction of adult cancer with approximately 50 new cases per year in Sweden. While the five-year overall survival (OS) in pediatric ALL is more than 90%, the prognosis in adults is dismal. READ MORE

7. 5. Risk Factors of Tumour Recurrence and Reduced Survival in Rectal Cancer

   Abstract : In Sweden, 2000 patients are diagnosed with rectal cancer annually. In 1995, the Swedish Rectal Cancer Registry (SRCR) was launched to supervise and assure the quality of the management of rectal cancer. Advances in the management of rectal cancer have reduced the local recurrence (LR) rate and improved survival. READ MORE
