Methods A cross-sectional survey study with a weighted representative sample of 1208 individuals aged 15 - 80 years old ...

A multi-level perspective on perceived unmet needs for home support in home-dwelling older adults in the Swiss context: a secondary data analysis of a population study KU Leuven

Sabina De Geest, Geert Goderis, Mieke Deschodt

Unmet needs and challenges in gastric cancer: The way forward KU Leuven

Eric Van Cutsem
Although the incidence of gastric cancer has fallen steadily in developed countries over the past 50 years, outcomes in Western countries remain poor, primarily due to the advanced stage of the disease at presentation. While earlier diagnosis would help to improve outcomes for patients with gastric cancer, better understanding of the biology of the disease is also needed, along with advances in therapy. Indeed, progress in the treatment of ...

The field of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) has evolved rapidly during the last decade, and, currently, a new WHO classification is being implemented and several treatment options are available in the metastatic setting after the results of prospective phase III clinical trials. However, several questions are still unanswered, ...
