  2. 6. 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

  4. 7. PET and MRI of Prostate Cancer

    Author : Catrin von Below; Håkan Ahlström; Cecilia Wassberg; Mauritz Waldén; Jens Sörensen; Michael Häggman; Joel Kullberg; Katrine Åhlström Riklund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; lymph nodes; lymph node staging; PET CT; MRI DWI; extended pelvic lymph node dissection; targeted biopsies; multi-parametric MRI; TRUS guided biopsy; multiple regression analysis;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-skin malignancy of men in developed countries. In spite of treatment with curative intent up to 30-40% of patients have disease recurrence after treatment, resulting from any combination of lymphatic, hematogenous, or contiguous local spread.

  5. 8. Studies on Prediction of Axillary Lymph Node Status in Invasive Breast Cancer

    Author : Johan Ahlgren; Karl von Smitten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Breast cancer; lymph node metastases; prognostic factors; predictive factors; axillary surgery; angiogenesis; immunohistochemistry; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females in Sweden. Axillary lymph-node dissection is a standard procedure in the management of breast cancer, aiming at obtaining prognostic information for adjuvant therapy decisions. Axillary dissection entails considerable morbidity. READ MORE

  6. 9. On lymph node based immunotherapy of cancer

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

    Abstract : Cancer Immunotherapy based on one’s own immune system to fight cancer is emerging as an important treatment option for advanced stage diseases. The earliest attempts of cancer therapy based on the provocation of the immune system with infectious agents can be traced back to the 18th century, and the field of immunotherapy has since developed into three main groups: cellular-, antibody- and cytokine- therapies.

  7. 10. Multimodal sentinel lymph node imaging using nanoscale-tailored particles; The importance of particle size

    Author : Pontus Kjellman; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; multimodal contrast agent; USPIO; sentinel lymph node; in vivo; EL-4 tumor;

    Abstract : As a cancer grows it will, at a certain stage of disease progression, start spreading in the body. For several types of cancer this spreading will first occur through the lymphatic system and the first place where metastatic cell will be encountered is the first lymph node that drains the area where the tumor is located.
