For patients with breast cancer who are not applicable for breast-saving treatment (because of tumor characteristics), who prefer an amputation or who undergo a prophylactic amputation an immediate breast reconstruction is a standard offer. A…
By using a surgical safety checklist, the incidence of postoperative complications will decrease.
1. Regular physical follow-up can partly be replaced by nurse-led telephone follow-up, with at least similar quality of life (QoL), in breast cancer patients treated with curative intent. ( change in QoL < 5 points) 2. An informative/…

We hypothesize that age-related changes in hepatic and intestinal drug metabolism affect the pharmacokinetics of midazolam.
In this single subject study we would like to determine whether parameter optimizing is feasible. Furthermore we want to investigate whether patients with urge symptoms have optimal benefit from different parameters than patients with non-…
