Delarbete IV – Kemosensitivitet och val av cytostatika

7.3 Slutsatser

Denna avhandling har undersökt tre aspekter av cytoreduktiv kirurgi och intraperitoneal cytostatika behandling av bukhinnespridd tjock- och änd-tarmscancer. Vad gäller överlevnadsanalysen verkar denna behandling kun-na vara botande i 15-32% av fallen beroende på vilken grupp man tittar på.

Det viktigaste är att få ner antalet patienter som stängs utan åtgärd. Vad gäll-er patientselektionen så har ett prognostiskt poängsystem utvecklats. Den kan bli ett viktigt verktyg i patientselektionsprocessen och kan komplettera radiologin. Vad gäller den intraperitoneala cytostatika-aspekten så är HI-PEC-metoden att föredra framför SPIC-metoden och teoretiskt kan oxalipla-tin vara att föredra framför mitomycin C men detta behöver bekräftas genom en klinisk studie.

8 Acknowledgements

Determination and inspiration are two crucial elements needed to succeed in research. I am very glad to say that I have had many supporters during my thesis research. This has given me the motivation needed to stay determined and inspired.

The closest supporters I have had are my family. I would like to especially thank my wonderful wife, Helena, for her love and support in every way, for her patience with my faults, and for sharing great moments together as well as struggles that have strengthened us. I am also thankful for my son, Joseph, for providing joy in my life and the child on its way, for reminding me of new beginnings. I cannot express my gratefulness for their encouragement and companionship in life. I would also like to thank my parents, David and Margareta Cashin, for developing in me an inquisitive mind and supporting me in my studies. They have always been there and given their blessing to me in regards to decisions of academia and life.

A good research environment entails supportive friends and colleagues. This has been instrumental for me in developing an interest in research. I am par-ticularly blessed with an exceptional tutor, Associate Professor Haile Ma-hteme, who is an amazing motivator. He has been genuinely interested in seeing me succeed and he is a great friend and teacher. His friendship is characterised by much generosity which I hope to cultivate in my own life. I look forward to further discussions on both research and other topics in the operating room or in a summer cottage.

I would like to thank my co-tutors, Professor Wille Graf and Professor Peter Nygren, for their support and encouragement in research and writing. Par-ticularly, I would like to thank Wille for his support and teaching in the op-erating room and Peter for his astute and insightful examination of my re-search material and his help in keeping the rere-search concise and focused.

I would also like to thank the following colleagues and collaborators for their help and support of this thesis and my clinical development:

Claes Juhlin, head of the department of surgery at Uppsala University Hospi-tal (Akademiska Sjukhuset), Professor Lars Wiklund, former chair of the department of surgical sciences at Uppsala University and the current chair,

Professor Olle Nilsson, for providing support and facilities for scientific and clinical work.

Olle Norlén and Håkan Andréasson for their friendship and enthusiastic dis-cussions on research topics and potential new research ideas.

The operating team, Vivvi, Anna, Kristin, for their support during surgical training and for their encouragement.

Rolf Larsson and Henning Karlsson for their co-authorship in the last article of this thesis.

Lastly, I would like to thank Akademiska Sjukhuset and Uppsala University for providing a research environment, funding, and facilities to use during my research and clinical training.
