In our previous studies using optical spectroscopy, both ex vivo and in vivo, most promising results were obtained for tissue diagnosis. Moreover, invasive procedures for biopsy or radiofrequency ablation in these tissues are all very common. Thus,…
This study is performed to compare the diagnostic performance and cost-effectiveness of different methods in the preoperative characterization of ovarian masses: RMI compared toa) simple ultrasound-based rules as a first step test and subjective…
Primary Objective: To assess whether the combination of Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) and Endometrial Brush Biopsy (EMB) will create an innovative algorithm for diagnosing corpus uteri malignancy in postmenopausal women suffering from…
The principal objective of the study is to determine if the performance of the new technique (magnetic tracer and magnetometer) is equivalent to the performance of the standard technique (patent blue dye and radioisotope, wire localization).The…
The primary objective is to investigate the quality (whether assessable by a pathologist or not) of the endometrial sample obtained by aspiration when performed directly before or after the SIS in postmenopausal women. Secondary objectives are to…
Primary objectiveTo determine whether adding the MRI/US fusion technique using mpMRI images for directed biopsy of a ROI leads to a higher detection rate of PCa per patient compared to a systematic 12-core biopsy protocol including directed biopsy…
To test the feasibility of breast MR elastography and explore the viscoelastic parameters of (1) normal breast tissue, of (2) breast tumours and of (3) scar tissue in the breast after lumpectomy.
This large prospective multi-center cohort study aims to identify patient*s characteristics that significantly influence ovarian response to mild stimulation with a fixed dose of 75 IU recombinant FSH
To determine which advanced image enhanced modality is the most feasible for the detection of endometriosis lesions, with respect to the specificity and sensitivity of the investigated modalities. To determine which imaging modality reveals more…
The overall goal of this study is to further validate and improve the sentinel node procedure for prostate cancer using ICG-99mTc-nanocolloid. The first objective aims at further validation of the sentinel node procedure for prostate cancer via…
To assess the effects of vaginal prolapse surgery on microcirculatory parameters measured in the vaginal wall with the use of incident dark field (IDF) imaging (Cytocam).
Our primary objective is to develop an easily assayable germline-based panel of biomarkers to aid in selecting prostate cancer patients for management with active surveillance. As a secondary objective, we tend to incorporate potentially promising…
Biobanking of testicular biopsies from azoospermic men undergoing testicular sperm extraction (TESE)
Biobanking of a testis biopsy from men with azoospermia who undergo a TESE procedure to allow investigation for understanding the etiology of male infertility, research about normal and aberrant male gamete formation in its natural environment of…
To answer the question if dried blood spot (DBS) analysis and saliva hormone testing are reliable methods to determine the concentration of NGF-ß in healthy subjects.
Primary Objective:To assess the ability of BR55 to identify area(s) of VEGFR2 expression in human prostate by ultrasound molecular imaging on the basis of a visual score in comparison with histopathology analysis (location based on expression of…
In breast-conserving surgery, there is evidence that approximately 30% of women receive a suboptimal or poor aesthetic outcome; however there is currently no standardised method of identifying these women.The PICTURE project aims to address these…
Up front breast surgery in patients with primary distant metastatic breast cancer, will result in an improvement of the 2-year survival compared to the survival achieved with systemic therapy and delayed local treatment or systemic therapy alone.The…
To investigate the additional value of MRI and MRI-guided biopsy in men with an elevated PSA in the general practitioners* (GP) practice regarding the detection of both insignificant and significant cancer, and reduced biopsies.
To determine the accuracy of MRI with DWI in detecting residual disease in patients with uterine cervical cancer treated with (chemo)radiotherapy.To determine the additional value of using DWI to a standard MRI protocol.To evaluate in the inter-…
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…
