   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; liver metastases; chemotherapy; oncological treatment; prognostic factors; predictive model; simultaneous resection; liver-first; colorectal-first;

   Abstract : The management of patients with colorectal cancer with liver metastases has improved over the past decades. There have been significant developments in terms of surgery, local therapies, anesthesia and oncological treatment. Nevertheless, there is no consensus on what constitutes optimal treatment strategy. READ MORE

4. 2. 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. 3. Artificial Intelligence-based Assessment of Prostate Cancer Metastases in PET/CT

   Author : Sarah Lindgren Belal; Malmö Nuklearmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Artificial intelligence AI ; Convolutional neural networks CNN ; PET CT; Prostate cancer; Automated; Tumor burden; Bone metastases; Lymph node metastases;

   Abstract : Background: Quantification of tumor burden from bone scan in the form of automated Bone Scan Index (aBSI) has been validated as an imaging biomarker for patients with prostate cancer. Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) is more sensitive and accurate compared to conventional imaging such as bone scan. READ MORE

6. 4. Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases : Effects of Chemotherapy on Liver Parenchyma and Resections

   Author : Jozef Urdzik; Agneta Norén; Per Hellman; James O Garden; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Current multimodal treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastasis often combines liver resections with preoperative chemotherapy with a 5-year survival of 40-50%. Preoperative chemotherapy includes conversion of initially non-resectable situation and control of micrometastatic disease. READ MORE

7. 5. Colorectal Liver Metastases. Aspects on Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment
