Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate treatment patterns and long-term oncological outcomes of patients with locally advanced prostate cancer (LAPCa).
Patients And Methods: This is a population-based study including LAPC (cT3-4, M0) patients from the Stockholm region (Sweden). A sub-analysis was performed in men treated with primary cystoprostatectomy or total pelvic exenteration (TPE) for cT4 prostate cancer (PCa).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate content validity, test-retest reliability, internal consistency, construct validity, responsiveness and floor/ceiling effects of Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) for assessing functions in activities of daily living (ADL) following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and perform an item reduction of FJS.
Methods: Swedish-speaking ACLR patients in one surgical clinic were eligible. Content validity was evaluated through patient responses and patient and expert clinician relevance ratings, omitting items with low relevance.
Cytogenetic aberrations are recognized as important prognostic factors in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but studies seldom include elderly patients. From the population-based Swedish ALL Registry, we identified 728 patients aged 18-95 years, who were diagnosed with ALL 1997-2015 and had cytogenetic information. Registry data were complemented with original cytogenetic reports.

In clinical practice, there is a need for improved plasma biomarker-based tools for diagnosis and risk prediction of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Analysis of blood, to identify plasma proteins with potential utility for such tools, could enable an individualized approach to treatment and prevention.

This is a natural history cohort representing the premodern drug era before the introduction of novel hormonal drug therapies.
Methods: PSA tests from the clinical chemistry laboratories serving health care in six regions of Sweden were retrieved and cross-linked to the National Prostate Cancer Registry (NPCR) to identify men with a prostate cancer diagnosis.
Aim: The aim of the study was to describe patients' experiences of emotional adaption following treatment for oesophageal cancer from diagnosis to 6 months after surgery.
Design: A qualitative interview study using an inductive approach was carried out.
Methods: Participants were recruited from two university hospitals in Sweden.
Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome (SJMS) is a rare syndrome of acute obliterative bronchiolitis following an early childhood infective insult to the lungs. This causes arrest of alveolarization, affecting lung development with hypoplasia of the ipsilateral pulmonary artery and results in a characteristic radiological pattern, such as a unilateral hyperlucent lung with expiratory air-trapping and pruned-tree appearance on pulmonary angiogram. The clinical presentation is either recurrent chest infections, exertional dyspnoea or it may be an incidental finding.
