Multidisciplinary work in oncology: Population ‐based analysis for seven invasive tumours
This study aimed to evaluate for seven cancer types diagnosed between 2004 and 2011, the practices of MDT meetings in Belgium by means of population‐based administrative databases. Results show a clear increase over time in the proportion of individual patients discussed at MDT meetings. Although this evolution may be partly explained by the legal implementation of several financial initiatives to stimulate MDT meetings, it also suggests an increase in specialists’ awareness of the importance of such meetings. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement, for specific cancer types as well as for certain subgroups ...

Attachment and adaptation to breast cancer: The mediating role of avoidant emotion processes
This study explored this pathway by examining the association between attachment insecurity and quality of life in women with breast cancer, and by exploring the mediating role of two avoidant emotion processes in this association. Women with breast cancer (N = 155) completed measures of attachment, emotional suppression, emotional awareness and quality of life. Avoidance of attachment was positively associated with emotional suppression (β = .29, p < .01) and lack of emotional awareness (β = .27, p < .01), and negatively associated with quality of life (β = −.22, p < .05). Lack of emotional awa...

A turning point: Head and neck cancer patients ’ exercise preferences and barriers before and after participation in an exercise intervention
This study examined the exercise barriers and preferences of head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors in relation to exercise experience. Participants (n = 22; 46.8% response rate) completed retrospective self‐report questionnaires on demographic and medical information, exercise barriers and preferences. A subset of participants then completed semi‐structured interviews (n = 18). Participants had previously engaged in the ENHANCE trial during, or immediately following, radiation treatment, an average of 22.1 ± 5.8 months before. Retrospective questionnaires revealed that before ENHANCE participation, lack of inter...
