    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anal cancer; chemotherapy; Radiotherapy; Prognosis and survival; phase I II trial; Cetuximab; metastatic;

    Abstract : Background: Squamous cell cancer of the anus (SCCA) is a rare malignancy, but the incidence is increasing. It isassociated with humman papilloma virus infection. The standard treatment is radiotherapy (RT) combined withchemotherapy, usually 5-fluorouracil (5FU)/Mitomycin C (MMC). READ MORE

  4. 2. Distributed Estimation of Network Cardinalities

    Author : Riccardo Lucchese; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reglerteknik; Control Engineering;

    Abstract : In distributed applications knowing the topological properties of the underlying communication network may lead to better performing algorithms. For instance, in distributed regression frameworks, knowing the number of active sensors allows to correctly weight prior information against evidence in the data. READ MORE

  5. 3. Model-based Analysis of Temporal Patterns in Atrioventricular Node Conduction During Atrial Fibrillation

    Author : Mattias Karlsson; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []

  7. 5. Predictors of Lymph Node Metastasis in Primary Breast Cancer - Risk Models for Tailored Axillary Management

    Author : Looket Dihge; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast Cancer; Axillary lymph node dissection; Sentinel lymph node biopsy; Ultrasonography; Nomogram; Artificial neural network; Gene Expression; Prediction model;

    Abstract : Most patients with breast cancer present with low-risk tumors, node-negative disease, and excellent prognosis. For these patients, routine axillary nodal staging by sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has no therapeutic benefit. For patients with limited sentinel lymph node metastasis, completion axillary nodal dissection is controversial. READ MORE
