The project primarily aims to study short (3 and 6 months) and long term (12 months) health related effects of the 'Kanker Nazorg Wijzer' on survivors' psychosocial distress and quality of life (QoL). Furthermore, process aspects of…
In this phase II study, the toxicity and treatment effects of early donor derived CD4+ lymphocyte infusion, three months after allo-SCT, will be evaluated
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that susceptibility to and severity of certain infectious and inflammatory diseases can be explained by the interaction between the genome, microbiome and immunological responses: i.e. presence of…
We hypothesize a lung*protective mechanical ventilation using lower tidal volumes during general anesthesia for minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy to protect against postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing minimally…
This study aims to detect differences in sick leave time, associated costs and quality of life between differentiated thyroid cancer patients treated in either a fast-track protocol or a traditional longer time interval between total thyroidectomy…
The aim of this project is to develop a comprehensive EORTC questionnaire for assessing sexual health for male and female patients with cancer. Given the lack of a sexual health related measure that can be used in clinical trials and in clinical…
To explore the effect of Eligard® on the following prostate cancer biomarkers:• Testosterone in serum• Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in serum• Prostate Cancer Antigen (PCA3 score) in urine • PSA mRNA in blood/PBMC• PCA3 mRNA in blood/PBMC• TMPRSS2…
1. To validate accelerometer cut-points to asses physical activity and sedentary behavior of breast cancer survivors. 2. To investigate the validity of accelerometers, inclinometers, heart rate and oxygen consumption to assess time spent in…
The primary objective of this study is to analyse the microenvironment of the primary tumour and sentinel and non-sentinel lymph node(s) (i.e. various T-cell populations, antigen presenting cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells) in patients…
To assess, based on a woman*s risk profile, mammographic density and age, the most cost-effective screening method, mammography or MRI, for women at high risk.
To identify the pathophysiology and predictors of study (extreme) cancer treatment -induced cardiovascular toxicity in cancer patients, by in vitro investigation of cardiovascular toxicity in patient-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) and endothelial…
to establish primary patient derived organoid cultures from GM to study mechanisms that contribute to aggressive tumor growth and treatment resistance in primary and recurrent GM.
Objective 1: To collect information on risk factors and biomarkers in a screening cohort, develop a tailor-made risk prediction model and, subsequently, model the impact of adapting breast cancer screening policy to populations at varying levels of…
Main objective:To assess the efficacy of thromboprophylaxis with high prophylactic dose LMWH as compared with standard care without systemic thromboprophylaxis in children treated for primary ALL during asparaginase treatment.Secondary objectives:1…
This study aims to identify global and local determinants of HPV vaccine acceptability, HPV vaccine uptake and compliance as well as identify logistics and programmatic issues in each country to offer the HPV vaccine, as a potential cervical cancer…
The aims of this project are to:1. Assess what percentage of breast cancer patients experience accelerated gain in fat mass, loss of muscle mass and muscle strength as induced during chemotherapy2. Assess whether changes in energy intake, protein…
The primary objective of this clinical study is to identify whether activating mutations in ESR1 detected in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in peripheral blood are associated with resistance to endocrine therapy in patients with ER-positive, human…
Primary Objectives The main objective of this project is to evaluate the long-term disease burden in meningioma patients. More specifically, we will evaluate: 1) the level of cognitive functioning and HRQoL in meningioma patients at least 5 years…
1. To determine the optimal acquisition technique for USPIO enhanced MRI (without contrast injection), DCE (without contrast injection) and DWI and T2* MRI of esophageal cancer in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, time resolution and spatial…
The primary objective of this study is to analyse the microenvironment of the tumour, (sentinel) lymph nodes (i.e. various T-cell populations, antigen presenting cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells) in patients with vulvar carcinoma. The…
