A. Early detection of systemic relapses in breast cancer. WP 1. Analysis of primary tumor. Analysis of primary tumor and metastases (Pathology group). In this work package both DNA and RNA from the primary tumors of 125 high-risk (Luminal-B) patients will be analyzed by next-generation sequencing

Screening: All potential participants will be screened. Screening may take place via a phone call if possible. Menstrual history will be reviewed to ensure potential participants meet study definition of heavy menstrual bleeding (self-described bothersome heavy periods, or >7 bleeding days per

Diabetes affects more than 9% of adults in the United States and this is projected to nearly double by 2025.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common nocturnal breathing disorder. It is characterized by the occurrence, during sleep, of repeated episodes of complete collapse (apnea) or incomplete (hypopneas) of the upper airways. OSAS is a pathology that, through its cardiovascular and

Patients with subfertility due to hormonal disorders are at increased risk of endometrial cancer and hyperplasia . Such conditions are associated with chronic anovulation, obesity and/or hyperinsulinemia. Presumably, the mechanism relates to constant, unrelenting estrogen stimulation of the

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a well-known collection of interrelated metabolic conditions that identify patients at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. These conditions include diabetes mellitus (DM), high blood pressure, obesity and dyslipidaemia.1 Though the exact pathogenesis of

Exercise training has been suggested to activate and recruit human BAT through the activation of sympathetic nervous system and contracting skeletal muscles by the release of myokines such as lactate and irisin that signal WAT to induce expression of beige adipocytes. It has been also suggested that

Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery. Overweight and obesity are an increasing health problem globally and in the Netherlands, about 15% of the population in the Netherlands is obese. Obesity is associated with increased risk of morbidity, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2

The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) in the Netherlands is 600.000-800.000 and each year ~70.000 new patients are diagnosed. This increasing number of patients with T2D is closely correlated with the obesity epidemic. Obese patients with T2D are also at risk to develop dyslipidemia and

Gestational diabetes Insulin is produced by pancreatic beta cells and is needed for optimal glucose homeostasis. In healthy individuals, the mass and function of beta cells changes to adapt to variations in insulin demand in the body. For example, adaptive beta cell hyperplasia, hypertrophy and
