TL;DR: The importance of adequate response monitoring during the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and testing for BCR-ABL1 kinase domain (KD) mutations in case of TKI failure is generally acknowledged and clearly outlined in guidelines and recommendations.
Journal Article
[Incidence of cervical cancer in women in North-Holland by country of birth from 1988-1998].
TL;DR: The incidence of cervical cancer during the period 1988-1998 was significantly higher for women living in Amsterdam and for women born in Morocco or Surinam than that for the Netherlands as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary therapy and survival in patients aged over 70-years-old with primary central nervous system lymphoma: a contemporary, nationwide, population-based study in the Netherlands.
Matthijs van der Meulen,Jacoline E C Bromberg,Marcel Nijland,Otto Visser,Jeanette K. Doorduijn,Avinash G. Dinmohamed +5 more
TL;DR: This contemporary, nationwide, population-based study assessed primary therapy and OS among >70 year old PCNSL patients diagnosed in the Netherlands and found that the prognosis of elderly patients remained poor and unchanged over the past decades.
Journal Article
[Adult cancer patients are surviving longer in the Netherlands: 5-year survival rate increased by 12% between the periods 1989-1993 and 2004-2008].
Sabine Siesling,Otto Visser,Trienika K. Luth,H.E. Karim-Vos,L.V. van de Poll-Franse,Katja K.H. Aben,Ronald Damhuis +6 more
TL;DR: The increase in survival rates of cancer patients in the Netherlands could represent either an increase in the number of patients cured or to cancer patients living longer lives, possibly due to early detection and improved treatment.
