2. 1. Stress susceptibility, beta-blocker use and cancer survival

   Author : Ruzan Udumyan; Katja Fall; Scott Montgomery; Fang Fang; Edoardo Botteri; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stress resilience; β-blockers; primary cancer; survival analysis; overall mortality; cancer-specific mortality; register-based cohort study;

   Abstract : Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic stress may influence tumour biology through activation of neuroendocrine pathways and thus impair survival. However, measuring stressful exposures and their influence on health is challenging, partly due to substantial inter-individual variation in stress susceptibility. READ MORE

4. 2. Antibiotics use in relation to colorectal cancer risk, survival and postoperative complications

   Author : Sai San Moon Lu; Bethany van Guelpen; Sophia Harlid; Jonas Ludvigsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; antibiotics; gut microbiome; dysbiosis; cancer-specific survival; surgical site infections; anastomotic leakage; register-based epidemiology; Cancer Epidemiology; cancerepidemiologi; Cancer Epidemiology; cancerepidemiologi; Oncology; onkologi; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Abstract : Background: Growing evidence suggests that antibiotic-induced dysbiosis of gut microbiota potentially contributes to colorectal cancer development and oncological outcomes. However, the role of antibiotics in colorectal cancer incidence, survival and postoperative outcomes at a population level remains incompletely understood. READ MORE

5. 3. Rectal cancer : the influence of surgical technique on morbidity, mortality and survival

   Author : Petrus Boström; Martin Rutegård; Markku Haapamäki; Peter Matthiessen; Jörgen Rutegård; Martyn Evans; Umeå universitet; []

   Abstract : Surgery is still the most common treatment for rectal cancer, being the most effective and cost-efficient modality. However, it is not without risk, nor without controversies. READ MORE

6. 4. Breast cancer in young women : aspects on mortality and local recurrence

   Author : Hanna Fredholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The general aim of the thesis was to gain increased insight into the long-term prognosis for young women with breast cancer. In a population-based cohort of 22,017 women with breast cancer, we studied prognosis by age. Women aged .. READ MORE

7. 5. Physical activity, body mass index and prostate cancer : studies of risk, progression and mortality

   Author : Stephanie Bonn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in developed countries, but it is still unclear what causes the disease. Body mass index (BMI) and physical activity are modifiable lifestyle factors with the potential to influence the development and progression of prostate tumors and may provide alternative strategies for reducing both prostate cancer incidence and mortality.
