The emphasis is on improving (surgical) treatment for breast cancer, enhancing care for patients with or at high risk of breast cancer, investigating and implementing lifestyle interventions in cancer, as well as more translational projects such as validating predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy and developing an implant after breast-conserving surgery. The research group is also involved in several clinical studies, both as a sponsor and participating center.
