A simple urine test that can assess the risk of kidney cancer recurrence at an early stage could spare patients from frequent imaging scans, e.g. CT-scans, and thus reduce the associated radiation, anxiety and costs. This has been shown in a new international research study led by Lund University in Sweden. The results have now been published in European Urology Oncology. Globally, about 400,000 p

Förra numret av LUM innehåller ett porträtt av universitetslektor Joakim Zander som skrivit en roman som nu ska bli en Netflix-film. Man kunde också läsa om en mystisk apparat som verkar ha skapats för att lösa tredjegradsekvationer samt ta del av en insändare om tystnadskultur. Är sådana artiklar viktiga?
