Kankerbeleid in de toekomst: prioriteiten Kom op tegen Kanker
Minder kanker, meer genezing en een betere levenskwaliteit voor kankerpatiënten: het zijn doelstellingen die ook op beleidsniveau en structureel moeten worden gerealiseerd. In aanloop naar de verkiezingen stelde Kom op tegen Kanker een memorandum op. Daarin formuleren we beleidsaanbevelingen voor een beter kankerbeleid. We willen zoveel mogelijk van onze actiepunten op de agenda van de politieke partijen krijgen.
Wat kan op beleidsniveau beter worden aangepakt? Enkele voorbeelden:
Objective: Young women with unilateral breast cancer are increasingly choosing contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM), despite its limited medical benefit for most women. The purpose of this study was to better understand this choice through a qualitative exploration of surgical decision‐making in young survivors, including how issues particular to younger women affected their decision and the post‐surgical experience.

Objective: To measure incremental expenses to an oncologic surgical practice for delivering a community‐based, ostomy nurse–led, small‐group, behavior skills–training intervention to help bladder and colorectal cancer survivors understand and adjust to their ostomies and improve their health‐related quality of life, as well as assist family caregivers to understand survivors' needs and provide appropriate supportive care.
