Goals

  • To develop, evaluate and implement personalized interventions to prevent gynecological cancers while maintaining quality of life.
  • To understand gynecological cancer development and tumor behavior with focus on the female and environmental related factors in order to develop personalized preventive and treatment methods.
  • To develop, evaluate and implement interventions to maintain fertility and ovarian function in young women with cancer.
  • To develop, evaluate and implement innovative tumor-oriented therapies and interventions to improve survival and personalized care and prevent late treatment effects, with a focus on profound psychosexual effects and quality of life in patients with gynecological cancers.

Research groups contributing to this research program

Biological and molecular imaging in experimental radiotherapy

Jan Bussink's research group aims to 'reprogram' the metabolism of tumors, giving the immune system more 'grip' on tumor cells and making tumor cells more sensitive to radiotherapy.

Computational pathology

Jeroen van der Laak's research group aims to develop, validate and implement artificial intelligence to support pathology diagnostics.

Gynecologic oncology

Joanna de Hullu's research group develops, evaluates and implements personalized interventions to prevent gynaecological cancers and offers personalized care in patients with gynaecological cancer with focus on optimal quality of life (preservation of fertility and ovarian function).
