Renal tumors:
Clinical (survival and toxicity) outcome determinants research, diagnostic innovation(radiology, diagnostic discriminating molecular biomarker identification), oncogenetic characterization research (genotype-phenotype correlation and identification of renal tumor-susceptibility), molecular research (NGS, organoids, and target identification, compound screens), innovative treatment development (chemo-, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical treatment), in Wilms tumors, as well as rare non-Wilms tumors.
Quality of cure and toxicity research:
We focus on the identification of (genetic) determinants of early and late toxicity of childhood cancer, especially endocrine sequelae, and ototoxicity. This includes the establishment of the prospective longitudinal Princess Máxima Center cohort CTCAE based toxicity registry, the “Continuous Registration of direct tOxicity by prospective dataWare housiNg (the Princess Máxima Center-CROWN registry)”, and its accompanying research projects, with a special focus on genetic variation. This program includes the development of international guidelines for surveillance and intervention studies.
