Information for researchers
From 2009-2014, the chair “Living with Cancer: innovative care programs and e-health” was initiated by the Dutch Cancer Society (KWF) / Alpe d’HuZes Foundation at VU University. Since 2015, this was transferred into a full professorship “Psychosocial oncology” at VU University and VU University Medical Center. Research is carried out in a joint venture between the Department of Otolaryngology / Head & Neck Surgery, Amsterdam UMC (location VUmc) and the Department of Clinical, Neuro- and Developmental Psychology of VU University, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Our research group “Living together with cancer” comprises the chair, senior researchers (postdocs), and PhD students.
Our research comprises four main topics
- Quality of life and psycho-oncology in cancer patients and their families;
- Supportive care: the prevention and management of adverse effects of cancer and its treatment (rehabilitation, psychosocial care, palliative care), delivered face-to-face and via eHealth;
- Predictive modelling: quality of life in relation to biomarkers and survival;
- Voice, speech, swallowing, and oral function.
