VUB professor Bart Neyns takes initiative to establish Cancer Survivor Center

World Cancer Day, 4 February: Ex-cancer patients have to get used to life again . Cancer patients who have survived serious treatment and are free of the disease often suffer an enormous psychological blow afterwards and find it difficult to pick up the thread of life again. To support people in this situation, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Professor Bart Neyns, with Professor Anne Rogiers, has taken the initiative to establish the Cancer Survivor Center. Anne Rogiers is head of the Psychiatry department at CHU Brugmann. She has spent the last 10 years researching the quality of life, psychosocial consequences and neuro-cognitive problems of patients successfully treated with immunotherapy. In addition, she provides aftercare for cancer patients in her clinical practice and founded the neuro-cognitive remediation clinic at CHU Brugmann in 2018. VUB professor Bart Neyns is head of the Medical Oncology department at UZ Brussel.
