Tidigare forskning visar att barn till män som behandlats för cancer har förhöjd risk för medfödda missbildningar. En ny registerstudie från Lunds universitet kastar nytt ljus över ämnet. Studien visar att även barn födda långt före cancerbehandlingen har ökad risk för missbildningar. Det är tidigare belagt att cancerbehandling med medicinsk strålning och cytostatika (cellgifter) kan påverka ferti

En stor andel av de lungor som doneras varje år kan inte användas för transplantation. Forskare vid Skånes universitetssjukhus och Lunds universitet har i en studie på djur nått resultat som ger hopp om att fler donerade lungor ska kunna rädda liv i framtiden. En pilotstudie har nu inletts för att se om behandlingen har samma positiva resultat hos människor. Varje år blir cirka 190 avlidna persone
