GP internship

Personalized treatment advice for cancer-related fatigue after cancer

Organisation: Department Psychology, Health & Technology in collaboration with department of Biomedical Signals and Systems

Location: Mainly UT

Period April - July

Brief description of the assignment

This internship will mainly take place at the UT.

The number of people that have (experienced) cancer is about 800.000 in the Netherlands and rising. However, there is still limited attention for long-term effects with fatigue being the most referred symptom in 80% of cancer patients. Treatments are available but not effective or available for everyone. Guidelines provide an overview of the effective treatments and indicate that treatments should be tailored to the needs of the patients. However, they lack instructions about what to advice to whom. Therefore, we work towards a personalized treatment advice within the PARTNR project.

During this internship, you will conduct a review to provide an overview of the state of the art of personalized treatment advice for CRF after cancer.
