Oncological Epidemiology
Mission
To contribute to an improvement of early detection of cancer and a better quality of life for patients with cancer.
Content
Our unit studies the early detection of cancer and evaluation of health-related quality of life after cancer. To assess and optimize screening strategies, we identify populations at risk for cancer using systematic literature reviews, analyses of cohorts and cancer registries, and modeling. We study not only the benefits of screening, but also the negative effects of over-diagnosis, tumor-induction, and false-positive results. A UMCG oncology data biobank, OncoLifeS, was initiated to evaluate outcomes after cancer in a systematic way.
