A multidisciplinary approach to improve treatment strategies for patients with hepatic or pancreatic cancer
Because the majority of metastasized uveal melanoma (UM) patients have unresectable liver only metastases, locoregional therapy was developed. In this thesis percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) is described as a treatment for these patients. During this procedure, the chemotherapeutic agent is infused in the hepatic artery and thereby delivered to the liver and metastases directly. Via a veno-venous filtration system, the chemotherapeutic agent is filtered before it reaches the systemic circulation. In this thesis a clinical study was described treating 20 UM patients with metastases confined to the liver with PHP. It was concluded that the results PHP outbalanced the (minimal) toxicity for patients with uveal melanoma metastases.

Part II - Tailored care for patients with pancreatic cancer
The poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer did not change much over the last decades, despite the improvements in treatment modalities. Previous studies have reported variations in incidence and mortality in pancreatic cancer between countries worldwide and European countries. A collaboration was initiated across Europe to compare patterns of care and identify best practices for pancreatic cancer care. A core dataset was identified to identificate differences in age, gender, incidence, tumour stage and differences in treatment strategies. To identify any differences in treatment and/or survival of elderly patients with pancreatic cancer, a comparison was performed of data on geriatric pancreatic cancer care and survival with data from the Netherlands and a special ‘Senior Adult Oncology Program’.Show less
