In my profession as a nuclear medicine physician, I’m involved in both clinical and scientific applications of nuclear medicine and radiology modalities. My main interests include haematology, general oncology, radio-immunotherapy, and especially the implementation of new therapeutic strategies. Currently, I have a special interest in imaging post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease, as well as radio-immunotherapy in chemotherapy refractory (non)-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Cost-effectiveness of radium-223 compared to best standard of care, abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide in the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer in the Netherlands
Published in: European Journal of Cancer
Background: The treatment landscape of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has changed with the introduction of abiraterone acetate (AA), enzalutamide (EN) and radium-223 (Ra-223). Little is known about the cost-effectiveness of these novel agents. This study investigates the cost-effectiveness of Ra-223 in the Netherlands. First, the costeffectiveness of Ra-223 will be evaluated against best supportive care (BSoC) in the mCRPC population. Second, the cost-effectiveness of Ra-223 in the post-chemo setting will be evaluated against the active comparators AA and EN. Material and Methods: A Markov model with...

Nuclear imaging for cardiac amyloidosis
Published in: Heart failure reviews
Histological analysis of endomyocardial tissue is still the gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis, but has its limitations. Accordingly, there is a need for non-invasive modalities to diagnose cardiac amyloidosis. Echocardiography and ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging can show characteristics which may not be very specific for cardiac amyloid. Nuclear medicine has gained a precise role in this context: several imaging modalities have become available for the diagnosis and prognostic stratification of cardiac amyloidosis during the last two decades. The different classes of radiopharmaceuticals have the...
