  1. 11. Indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging to detect anastomotic insufficiency after esophagectomy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Love Kildetoft; [2024]
    Keywords : Fluorescence; Imaging; Indocyanine-green; ICG; Esophageal cancer; Physics; Photonics; Image Analysis; Blood Perfusion; Anastomotic leakage; Anastomotic insufficiency; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. READ MORE

  3. 12. Evaluating aperture shape controller (ASC) in modulated radiation treatments

    University essay from

    Author : Vilma Andrén Cederholm; [2023-09-28]
    Keywords : Medical physics;

    Abstract : To decrease aperture complexity, the aperture shape controller (ASC) is a recently introduced function in Eclipse external beam planning (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, USA). ASC works within the photon optimizer, minimizing distances between adjacent leaf tips of the MLC. READ MORE

  4. 13. Regulatory Driven Clustering of Single-Cell Data; Clustering of single-cell RNA sequencing from glioblastoma with a novel mathematical method

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

    Author : Kári Kristjánsson; [2023-08-08]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Single-cell RNA sequencing has arisen as an important method to explore the gene expression of biological cells, including cancer cells. In this study, we deployed a computational algorithm known as ScRegClust to dissect single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from brain tumors. READ MORE

  5. 14. Apoptosis induction in breast cancer cells after radiotherapy and potential radiosensitizers

    University essay from

    Author : Klara Simonsson; [2023-06-27]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Breast cancer cells; radiotherapy; systemic therapy; combination therapy; apoptosis; BH3 profiling; flow cytometry;

    Abstract : Background. Today breast cancer is the foremost cancer death type amongst women around the world. At present some of the toughest challenges in the clinic is recurrent, radioresistant breast cancer, and metastatic breast cancer where low cure rates are observed after surgery and radiotherapy.

  6. 15. Establishment and Characterisation of new Immunoreagents for diagnosis of Ovarian cancer

    University essay from

    Author : Fanny Carlsson; [2023-04-19T12:15:23Z 2023-04-19T12:15:23Z 2022 2023]
    Keywords : ovarian; cancer; monoclonal; antibodies; biomarkers; CARM1; PARPi; EZH2i;

    Abstract : Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of all gynaecological cancers and it is often diagnosedat an advanced stage due to diffuse and only mild symptoms at early stages.Early detection is crucial to increase survival but high-grade serous ovarian cancer(HGSOC) often presents non-specific symptoms, such as loss of appetite, bloating ofabdomen and tiredness.
