Saskia Persoon,Marie José Kersten,Laurien M. Buffart,Griet Vander Slagmolen,Joke W. Baars,Otto Visser,Annelies Manenschijn,Frans Nollet,Mai J. M. Chinapaw +8 more
TL;DR: The physical fitness deficits in patients recently treated with autologous stem cell transplantation indicate the need for targeted interventions.
Journal Article
[Trends in the incidence and death from cancer from 1989-2003 in The Netherlands].
TL;DR: Despite a slight increase in the incidence of cancer and an increase in mortality from lung cancer (in females), oesophageal cancer and melanomas, the death rate from cancer has dropped considerably and may be explained by changes in lifestyle in the 1970s and 80s.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of socioeconomic status and ethnicity on adjuvant systemic treatment guideline adherence for early-stage breast cancer in the Netherlands.
Anne Kuijer,J. Verloop,Otto Visser,Gabe S. Sonke,Agnes Jager,C. H. van Gils,T. van Dalen,Sjoerd G. Elias +7 more
TL;DR: Low SES patients are less likely be overtreated and marginally more likely to be undertreated with CT resulting in an overall decreased risk of receiving CT, and minimal SES disparities in CT guideline adherence were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ardine M.J. Reedijk,M. van der Heiden-van der Loo,Otto Visser,Henrike E. Karim-Kos,Jan A. Lieverst,J.G. de Ridder-Sluiter,J.W.W. Coebergh,Leontien C. M. Kremer,Rob Pieters +8 more
TL;DR: The site of childhood cancer care in the Netherlands depends on the age of the cancer patient, type of tumour and stage at diagnosis, and collaboration between paediatric oncology centre(s), other academic units is needed to ensure most up-to-date paediatric cancer care for childhood cancer patients at the short and long term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for non-malignant gastrointestinal diseases.
TL;DR: This review gives an update of the major areas of successful uses of HSCT in non-malignant gastrointestinal disorders and suggests mesenchymal SCT for a selected group of CD is promising and may represent a significant therapeutic alternative in treating fistulas in CD.
