Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland Netherlands Cancer Institute Voltijd

Function description:

  • The Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) forms together with the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital a Comprehensive Cancer Center, combining excellence in all stages of anticancer research and patient care. It is located in Amsterdam and conducts research in all major areas of oncology, with special emphasis on immunology, cancer cell biology, and translational research. It is a stimulating international environment with closely collaborating researchers and clinicians.
  • The research group of V.P. Retèl conducts Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and health economic research alongside the translational pathway and aims to contribute to accelerate patient access in case of promising innovations. At the NKI, health economic studies and HTA have become increasing important from early stages of research that lead to clinical innovations. They help to inform policy
- and reimbursement decisions, to guide the translational research process, and to anticipate on technological and environmental developments. The research group of V.P. Retèl is part of the department of Psychosocial and Epidemiological research and consists of 2 postdocs, 9 PhDs, 1 research assistant, and a number of master students.

  • Close collaboration exists with the research group of E.W. de Bekker-Grob at Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM). ESHPM is part of Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) and is responsible for a bachelors and three (international) master programs on health policy, economics and management, serving more than 800 students.
ESHPM is a multidisciplinary school with research focusing on three main themes:
'competition and regulation in healthcare'; 'quality and efficiency in healthcare'; and 'healthcare management'. The research group of E.W. de Bekker-Grob focusses on Health Economics and Health Preference research, which is embedded in the ESHPM's Health Technology Assessment group, the interfaculty Erasmus Choice Modelling Centre (ECMC), and the Erasmus Centre for Health Economics Rotterdam (EsCHER).

Job requirements:

The Project
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is considered a preliminary stage of breast cancer. Yet the majority of DCIS abnormalities never grow into breast cancer and thus these are harmless.

Because we do not currently know which DCIS can grow into breast cancer and which cannot, almost all women with DCIS are now routinely treated intensively through breast-conserving surgery, often followed by radiotherapy, or even mastectomy.

Our mission is to prevent unnecessary treatment of the harmless DCIS abnormalities and thus preserve the quality of life of many women.- The HTA group in the NKI is together with the Health Economics and Health Preference research group in the Erasmus University Rotterdam, work package (WP) leader in the project.

This WP is especially focussing on Patient Preferences and Health Technology Assessment (including Ethical, Legal, Social/Organisational Issues).

The PhD project is focussed on the first part of the research; namely constructing a dynamic cost-effectiveness model based on national retrospective and prospective data, incorporating dynamics by means of the trend over time from Dutch registries (IKNL and DHD), and comprehensive scenarios.
