  2. 1. Risk Factors of Tumour Recurrence and Reduced Survival in Rectal Cancer

    Author : Fredrik Jörgren; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tumour Marker; Ezrin; Intestinal Perforation; Neoplasm Recurrence; Rectal Neoplasms; Local; Neoplasm Metastasis; Survival Rate; Risk Factors; Surgical; Anastomosis;

    Abstract : In Sweden, 2000 patients are diagnosed with rectal cancer annually. In 1995, the Swedish Rectal Cancer Registry (SRCR) was launched to supervise and assure the quality of the management of rectal cancer. Advances in the management of rectal cancer have reduced the local recurrence (LR) rate and improved survival. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects on Minimally Invasive Surgery for Rectal Tumours

    Author : Torbjörn Swartling; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; minimally invasive surgery; rectal neoplasm; transanal endoscopic microsurgery; inflammatory response; magnetic resonance imaging; endosonography; treatment outcome; local neoplasm recurrence;

    Abstract : Background: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and laparoscopic rectal resection are minimally invasive methods of surgery for rectal tumours. One aim of this thesis was to analyse the inflammatory response after minimally invasive surgery compared with open resection. READ MORE

  5. 3. Small breast cancers : Diagnosis, prognostic factors and clinical outcome in a screening population

    Author : Lars-Gunnar Arnesson; Karl von Smitten; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Breast neoplasm; diagnostic; treatment; pathology; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Breast cancer ≤ 10 mm together with ductal in situ cancer of the breast (DCIS) today constitute more than 40% of screening detected breast malignancies. Prognostic factors, diagnosis and clinical outcome for invasive breast cancers ≤ 10 mm and local recurrence in DCIS were evaluated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cervical cancer prevention Studies on possible improvements

    Author : Björn Strander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; cytology; colposcopy; HPV; cervical neoplasm; epidemiology; treatment; follow up;

    Abstract : Aims: The aim of this study is to target and assess possible improvements for women attending cervical cancer screening programs. Methods: In a randomized study the use of ThinPrep liquid based cytology (LBC) was tested against conventional cytology. READ MORE

  7. 5. Interval cancers, positive predictive value for malignance and other early quality indicators in mammographic screening for breast cancer

    Author : Bedrich Vitak; Ingvar Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Mammography; Breast neoplasm; Breast cancer screening; Interval breast cancer; Metastasis; Mortality; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The study was designed to evaluate early quality indicators in screening for breast cancer. lt comprised, (i) investigations of compliance, recall, referral, cancer detection, and interval cancer rates in the Östergötland screening programme of women aged 40-74 years; (ii) evaluation of the three-stage diagnostic procedure for pre-operative assessment of women with suspicious mammographic findings; (iii) comprehensive analysis of all invasive interval cancers detected; and (iv) investigation into how to reduce the number of interval cancers without a concomitant increase in false positives.
