Science evening: Getting better is more than a cure

Treatment for children with cancer is intended to make them better. But there is more to it than just the disease. The treatment can cause side effects—in the short or long term. And children can experience emotional or social consequences in addition to physical ones. All of this impacts their quality of life.

Three experts will share their research aimed at improving the quality of life for children with cancer. This research aims to reduce treatment side effects and better map late effects, and to provide more targeted support to children and families regarding the psychological consequences of their illness and treatment.

There will be ample opportunity for questions and discussion at this science evening.

You are most welcome to attend this evening, either in person or online. You can register via the event website.

This evening is held in Dutch and is primarily aimed at parents, children, survivors, and the general public.
