Are you interested in the latest insights into (breast) cancer care? On Friday, October 17, 2025 — during Breast Cancer Awareness Month — the University of Twente (UT) warmly welcomes you to an interactive day full of inspiration and knowledge sharing.
As a result of improved treatments, more people recover from cancer. At the same time, many continue to experience long-term effects such as fatigue. This fatigue is not the same for everyone: its experience, impact, and preferred treatment options differ from person to person. The Personalised cAnceR TreatmeNt and caRe (PARTNR) project was launched in 2020 to gain insight into these differences in fatigue, to develop personalised recommendations for fatigue treatment, using a holistic approach that considers the person as a whole. Over the past five years, Lian and Kim have worked on their PhD research within the PARTNR project. They will defend their dissertations on October 16 (Lian – 12:30 PM) and October 17 (Kim – 2:30 PM).
During the symposium, Professor Marije van de Lee will provide a clinical perspective on holistic monitoring, and Professor Mark van Gils will highlight the technological angle. At the interactive networking fair, various initiatives and organisations from Twente and beyond will showcase their work in digital technology. The afternoon will conclude with a broad panel session, reflecting together on the role of holistic monitoring in healthcare.
