De richtlijnen uit 2015 hebben bijna allemaal betrekking op de screening, behandeling en opvolging van verschillende kankers. In dit domein, dat voortdurend evolueert, legde het KCE reeds een langdurig traject af. Het formuleert aanbevelingen voor de meest voorkomende kankers en/of voor dewelke een grote diagnostische of therapeutische vooruitgang werd gemaakt. Elk jaar kiezen we samen met het College voor Oncologie de te behandelen onderwerpen.

Studies demonstrate that parents with cancer experience distress and that parenting self-efficacy (PSE) is related to distress among parents without cancer. However, no study to date has examined the relationships between PSE and psychological distress among parents with cancer. This study sought to address this issue by comparing parents with cancer who had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to parents without cancer on measures of PSE and psychological distress.

Treatment for anal and rectal cancer (ARCa) often results in side effects that directly impact sexual functioning; however, ARCa survivors are an understudied group, and factors contributing to the sexual sequelae are not well understood. Body image problems are distressing and may further exacerbate sexual difficulties, particularly for women. This preliminary study sought to (1) describe body image problems, including sociodemographic and disease/treatment correlates, and (2) examine relations between body image and sexual function.
