  2. 1. Liver transplantation and the role of adjuvant therapy for advanced primary liver tumours

    Author : Gunnar Söderdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Liver transplantation; hepatocellular carcinoma; primary liver tumours; adjuvant therapy; haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.;

    Abstract : Liver transplantation (LT) for unresectable locally advanced primary liver tumours (aPLT) is associated with an inferior survival compared to other established indications. As organ shortage in most regions is the major factor limiting the transplant rate, a careful selection of patients accepted for LT is necessary. READ MORE

  4. 2. Midgut Carcinoid Tumours : New Diagnostic Procedures and Treatment

    Author : Staffan Welin; Eva T. Janson; Barbro Eriksson; Larry Kvols; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; Midgut carcinoid tumour; Chromogranin A; Carcinoid heart disease; Survival; Octreotide pamoate; Tyrosine kinase receptors; Platelet derived growth factor receptor; Epidermal growth factor receptor; Medicin;

    Abstract : Midgut carcinoid tumours are rare with an incidence of 0.5-2.1/100 000. The primary tumour is usually small and grows slowly but has almost always set metastases at diagnosis. READ MORE
