Abstract Background The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) by patients is widespread. However, there a lack knowledge regarding the extent details patient CAM in Sweden, especially rural Sweden. aim this study was to estimate characteristics among cancer Region Gävleborg. Methods A total 631 questionnaires were distributed which 376 responses registered, yielding response rate 59.6%. Questionnaires oncology at their first visit for curative treatment Department Oncology,...
Background: The primary objective of this study was to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) at 12 weeks between patients treated with IGF-1R pathway modulator AXL1717 (AXL) and docetaxel (DCT).Material methods: conducted 19 centers in five countries. A total 99 previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) squamous carcinoma (SCC) adenocarcinoma (AC) subtypes need additional treatment were randomized either 300 400 mg AXL as daily BID (58...
Chemoradiotherapy is the standard of care for inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This treatment, however, offers only a small chance cure and associated with many side effects. Little research has been made concerning which patients benefit most/least from treatment. The present study evaluates prognostic value anemia, leukocytosis thrombocytosis at diagnosis in this treatment setting. In study, data were collected retrospectively 222 two different phase II studies...
Background/Aim: The main objective of this study was to evaluate if there an increased incidence brain tumours between years 1980-2012, a time period when mobile phone usage has substantially. Materials and Methods: From the Swedish Cancer Registry, cases meningiomas, low-grade gliomas (LGG) high-grade (HGG) were identified in patients 1980-2012. Direct age-standardised rates used calculate trends over time. Results: A total 13,441 12,259 4,555 LGG reported register during period. results...
Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate any prognostic value pre-treatment anemia, leukocytosis and thrombocytosis in patients with advanced pretreated NSCLC. Methods: A randomized, multicenter phase II comparing IGF-1R modulator AXL standard docetaxel treatment previously treated stage IIIB or IV NSCLC conducted 2011-2013. Clinical laboratory data were collected, including serum values for hemoglobin (Hgb), white blood cells (WBC) platelets (Plt) at baseline. These...
Socioeconomic status (SES) and its association with cancer in general have been thoroughly studied the last decades. Several studies shown associations between SES many types of such as lung cancer, breast prostate cancer. For gliomas, no clear occupational or exposure risk factors identified, although some possible use cellular telephone are still controversial. The aim present study is to analyze whether there an development brain Data from 1999 through 2013 were collected Swedish Cancer...
The focus of the present review is to investigate whether there a variation in incidence rates between male and female patients with high-grade primary brain tumors if are altered associated time at which they were diagnosed. Previous studies identified internationally peer-reviewed journals using systematic search PubMed database. Due difficulties data interpretation, that exclusively included patient classified prior 2nd edition World Health Organization histological classification system...
An important aspect of end-of-life care is the place death. A majority cancer patients prefer home death to hospital At same time, actual location often against patient's last-known wish. The aim this study was analyze whether socioeconomic factors influence if Swedish palliative die at or a hospital. There no previous on encompassing several years in patients.Data collected from Register Palliative Care for diagnosed with brain tumor, lung, colorectal, prostate breast recorded between 2011...
Background: The place of death cancer patients is an important aspect end-of-life care.

In this study, we aimed to investigate for palliative patients, influencing these variables. Methods: Patients diagnosed with admitted a care team across three Swedish cities between 2019 2022 were asked participation. Participants completed questionnaire capturing...
Introduction. The aim of the present study was to investigate impact age at diagnosis on prognosis in patients treated with curatively intended radiotherapy for NSCLC. Material and methods. This is a joint effort among all Swedish Oncology Departments that includes identified diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer have been subjected irradiation (≥50 Gy) during 1990 2000. Included had histopathological/cytological date as well death or last follow-up date. following variables were studied...
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widely used by patients with cancer. There research that indicates the use of CAM more prevalent in rural areas compared to urban areas. Regarding scope specifics patient's Sweden, particularly areas, there a dearth information. The aim this study was estimate extent characteristics among cancer Region Gävleborg.
Previous studies have shown discrepancies between patient's desired and actual death place. As planning of family support involvement palliative home care teams seem to improve the chance meet patients preferences, geographical availability specialized could influence place death.Data diagnosed deceased January 2011 until December 2014 with lung, brain, colorectal, breast prostate cancer was collected from Swedish national registers multiple regression analyses were performed.Patients who...
