2. 21. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, a novel tracer in breast cancer surgery

   Author : Abdi-Fatah Hersi; Staffan Eriksson; Fredrik Wärnberg; Andreas Karakatsanis; Thorsten Kühn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast Cancer; superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles; SPIO; magnetic seed; magnetic surgery; sentinel node; sentinel node biopsy; nonpalpable; ductal carcinoma in situ; DCIS; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : The most common surgical choice of treatment in breast cancer is breast-conserving surgery (BCS) together with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB). Around 10% of breast cancer diagnosis are ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO) are a novel tracer for sentinel lymph node (SN) detection. READ MORE

4. 22. Detecting prostate cancer metastases - PET/CT and the sentinel node technique

   Author : Henrik Kjölhede; Malmö Urologisk cancerforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; Metastases; PET CT; Choline; Fluoride; Sentinel lymph nodes;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies. Its treatment is highly dependent on the presence or absence of metastases. The available invasive and non-invasive modalities for detecting metastases are imperfect. READ MORE

5. 23. Staging and tumor biological mechanisms of lymph node metastasis in invasive urinary bladder cancer

   Author : Firas Aljabery; Oliver Gimm; Staffan Jahnson; Ivan Shabo; Hans Olsson; Peter Söderkvist; Ralph Peeker; Linköpings universitet; []

   Abstract : Aim: To study the possibility of detecting lymph node metastasis in locally advanced urinary bladder cancer (UBC) treated with radical cystectomy (RC) by using preoperative positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and peroperative sentinel node biopsy (SNB) technique. We also investigate the clinical significance of macrophage traits expression by cancer cells, M2-macrophage infiltration (MI) in tumor stroma and the immunohistochemical expression of biomarkers in cancer cells in relation to clinicopathologic data.

6. 24. Nuclear medicine imaging of breast cancer and regional lymph nodes

   Author : Rimma Danielsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : breast neoplasm; scintimammography; diagnostic accuracy; triple diagnosis; axillary lymph node metastases;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to explore the role of nuclear medicine in diagnosis of primary breast carcinoma and regional lymph node involvement. The introduction includes a review over nuclear medicine techniques currently under investigation. READ MORE

7. 25. Distal cholangiocarcinoma - from novel biomarkers to clinical management and outcome

   Author : Johannes Byrling; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Distal cholangiocarcinoma; biliary tract cancer; periampullary cancer; pancreatoduodenectomy; lymph node metastasis; stroma; SPARC; THBS2; biomarker; mass spectrometry; Diagnosis; histopathology;

   Abstract : Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive malignacy arising from the biliary tree. Anatomical subtypes ofcholangiocarcinoma differs in tumor biology and clinical management. Distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA)originates from the common bile duct. READ MORE
