Clinical Epidemiology of Breast Cancer
Clinical epidemiology of breast cancer has been an important research topic of the programme for almost 20 years. Here, data of the Netherlands Cancer Registry are an important source for studies on epidemiological trends and patterns of care. Another important research line is focusing on the improvement of the detection of breast cancer, either as part of the national breast cancer screening or in the treatment planning. All studies are done in close collaboration with radiologists, pathologists, radiation-oncologists, medical oncologists and surgeons in the South of the Netherlands.
