Inge Krul

Biography

I have a Master's degree in Health Sciences from the VU university Amsterdam.

Research Interest

The aim of my PhD-project is to evaluate the long-term effects of treatment in female Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors. These women have an increased risk of a premature menopause and breast cancer. I examine the long-term effects of a therapy-induced premature menopause on bone mineral density, cardiovascular status, neurocognitive functioning and quality of life. In addition, I evaluate the effectiveness of breast cancer screening in female HL survivors since current guidelines are prescribing annual BC screening by MRI and mammography, starting 8 years after treatment.
