1. 1. Serum TK1 activity and SAA concentration as biomarkers to differentiate lymphoma from gastrointestinal disease in cats

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Amanda Friman; [2023]
   Keywords : lymphoma; gastrointestinal lymphoma; feline lymphoma; inflammatory bowel disease; IBD; thymidine kinase 1; TK1; biomarker; cancer; cats;

   Abstract : Alimentary lymphoma is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in cats. Since the clinical signs often are identical to those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the findings on diagnostic imaging and endoscopic mucosal biopsies overlap, invasive biopsy sampling from the GI tract is needed to be able to differentiate these two diseases from each other.

3. 2. TransRUnet: 2D Detection and Segmentation of Lymphoma Lesions in Full-Body PET-CT Images

   University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

   Author : Lasse Stahnke; [2023]
   Keywords : Lymphoma; PET-CT; Deep Learning; CNN; Retina U-Net; Feature Pyramid Transformer; Detection; Segmentation; Lymfom; PET-CT; djupinlärning; CNN; Retina U-Net; Feature Pyramid Transformer; detektion; segmentering;

   Abstract : Identification and localization of FDG-avid lymphoma lesions in PET-CT image volumes is of high importance for the diagnosis and monitoring of treatment progress in lymphoma patients. This process is tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone, due to large image volumes and the heterogeneity of lesions. READ MORE

4. 3. " Optimization of Margins and Plan Robustness for Proton Therapy of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma"

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Filip Hörberger; [2022]
   Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : Purpose/Background: Utilizing proton therapy (PT) for treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) has demonstrated favorable features, particularly a reduced dose to organs at risk (OAR) in comparison with photon radiotherapy. However, there is a coherent complexity with PT including its uncertainties, such as range-uncertainties and set-up variations as protons are highly sensitive to tissue density variations within the beam-path.

5. 4. An Application of Cluster Analysis in Identifying and Evaluating Prognostic Subgroups for Therapy-Related Acute Myeloid Leukemia

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

   Author : Stefanie Antonilli; [2022]
   Keywords : AML; lymphoma; heterogeneous data; cluster analysis; k-prototypes algorithm;

   Abstract : Treatment for lymphoma with alkylating therapy is known to increase the risk of secondary malignancies such as Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), although the risk is not fully understood. This study investigates the characteristics of AML that arise after lymphoma treatment in contrastto AML cases without a prior lymphoma. READ MORE

6. 5. Improving antibody-based immunotherapy protocols in vitro : Study on optimization of antitumor immunity by antibody-dependent phagocytosis with the monoclonal antibody rituximab

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Giovanni Ferro; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The monoclonal antibody Rituximab (RTX) has been widely and successfully used to treat non-Burkitt B cell lymphoma in human patients. The combination of immunotherapy with low-dose chemotherapy has increased the success of the treatment and translated into increased patients’ survival. READ MORE
