The standard-of-care sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure in paediatric cancer patients consists of a preoperative intradermal injection with 99mTechnetium-nanocolloid as radiotracer in combination with an intraoperative injection of blue dye for…
The primary objective of this study is to determine patient perspective of and satisfaction with follow-up type and frequency after THA and TKA. Therefore, we will send surveys to patients who had a THA or TKA between 1 and 15 years ago.
Most patients undergoing spine surgery with pedicle screw instrumentation will experience insufficient pain relief in the first three days after surgery, whereafter postoperative pain can be managed with conventional, non-opioid analgesics in most…
Renal artery denervation (RDN) on top of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) will improve the success of ablative therapy for patients who have paroxysmal and/or persistent atrial fibrillation, with out of range hypertension (systolic >140 mmHg or…
To study the human adult cochlea, in specific it's RNA and protein expression patterns and morphology.
To investigate the effects of ICIs (anti-CTLA4, anti-PD1, combination anti-CTLA4/PD1) on vascular inflammation (PET-CT) in stage III melanoma patients. We hypothesize that the increase in vascular inflammation will be greater in the exposure group…
The primary objective of the proposed research is to investigate in patients with PDD the efficacy of STN-DBS with best oral medical treatment (DBS-group) for disabling motor symptoms during off-drug phase compared to best oral medical treatment…
This study will determine whether there is a difference in disease free survival for patients treated with either a 1cm excision margin or 2cm margin for clinical stage II (pT2b-pT4b) primary cutaneous melanoma (AJCC 8th edition, Table 1). The…
To determine whether KJD is non-inferior on patient reported effectiveness as compared to a KP (i.e. usual care) for relatively young patients with end-stage knee OA. For the substudy: the primary objective is to predict the benefit from knee…
To assess the effectiveness of a cerclage in women with a twin pregnancy with a midpregnancy short cervix compared to standard treatment (no cerclage) in the prevention of extreme preterm birth (PTB) < 28 weeks of GA.
The goal of this study is to investigate which treatment(-s) lead to the best outcome by using existing variation of practice.
Primary Objective The primary objective of this study is to compare the 3-year overall survival of stage III NSCLC patients during follow-up surveillance with 18F FDG PET/CT versus follow-up with conventional CT surveillance. Secondary…
To evaluate RRS with delayed RRO as an alternative for RRSO in BRCA1/2 gene germline mutation carriers. We hypothesize that RRS with delayed RRO leads to an equal ovarian cancer incidence when compared to RRSO.
The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of CAL-WR as primary and curative colon-preserving treatment for T1 colon cancer. Our primary endpoint is reduction of oncologic resections for low-risk T1 colon cancer. As secondary…
This strategy will result in a reduction reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as death or non-fatal myocardial infarction and appear more efficient than care as usual.
To compare safety and efficacy of treatment with sentinel lymph node biopsy guided elective neck irradiation versus standard elective neck irradiation in patients receiving definitive (chemo)radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the…
The aim of this study is to reduce the need for colectomy and its* associated morbidity and mortality in patients with high-risk pT1 or low-risk pT2 colon carcinoma after endoscopic polypectomy by performing a (robot-assisted) laparoscopic wedge…
The primary objective of the pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a definitive trial to determine the effect of arthroscopic soft tissue stabilization vs. non-surgical treatment on rates of recurrent anterior …
Primary Objective: To investigate the change of objectively measured physical activity over time, from preoperative, to being placed on the waiting list for cardiac surgery, to postoperative. Secondary Objective(s): To…
Patient satisfaction after rotator cuff rupture is usually very high. Studies evaluating open and arthroscopic repairs for all different tear sizes have shown patient satisfaction rates of 87% to 100%. However, high satisfaction does not mean that…
