    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.

    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

  5. 18. On CD4+ T Lymphocytes in Solid Tumours

    Author : Per Marits; Ola Winqvist; Magnus Thörn; Alex Karlsson-Parra; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular medicine; Tumour immunology; T lymphocytes; sentinel node detection; colon cancer; urinary bladder cancer; adoptive immunotherapy; Molekylärmedicin;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with recognition and elimination of tumours by T lymphocytes and their use in adoptive immunotherapy.The first tumour-draining lymph node; the sentinel node, is identified by peritumoural injection of a tracer. This is the hypothesised location for the activation of tumour-reactive lymphocytes. READ MORE

  6. 19. Experimental Diagnostics and Therapeutics of Invasive Urinary Bladder Cancer

    Author : Amir Sherif; Per-Uno Malmström; Magnus Thörn; Lars Holmberg; Sten Nilsson; Michael J Droller; Uppsala universitet; []

  7. 20. Etiologic, diagnostic and prognostic factors in vulvar cancer

    Author : Gunnel Lindell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : sentinel node biopsy;

    Abstract : Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinoma (VSCC) can be divided into two subgroups basaloid and/or warty (HPV-associated) and keratinizing/non-keratinizing carcinomas (not HPV-associated). The inguinal lymph node status represents the most powerful prognostic factor. READ MORE
