Systematic review and meta-analysis of local resection or transanal endoscopic microsurgery versus radical resection in stage i rectal cancer: A real standard?
Geneviève Veereman,Joan Vlayen,Jo Robays,Nicolas Fairon,Sabine Stordeur,Christian Rolfo,Didier Bielen,Alain Bols,Pieter Demetter,André D'Hoore,Karin Haustermans,Alain Hendlisz,Arnaud Lemmers,Daniel Leonard,Freddy Penninckx,Eric Van Cutsem,Marcus Peeters +16 more
TL;DR: The authors strongly recommend radical resection for T2 rectal cancer, but consider 'en bloc' local resection sufficient for pT1 sm1 rectal cancers when confirmed pathologically.

G Veereman,Jo Robays,L Verleye,R Leroy,Christian Rolfo,E. Van Cutsem,Didier Bielen,Wim Ceelen,Etienne Danse,M De Man,Pieter Demetter,Patrick Flamen,Alain Hendlisz,I Sinapi,Dirk Vanbeckevoort,Dirk Ysebaert,Marc Peeters +16 more
TL;DR: The optimal therapeutic plan regarding timing of resection of synchronous liver metastases and the use of chemotherapy in combination with resection with the aim of attributing a level of evidence to outcomes and identifying lacking evidence areas is addressed.

Patterns of care for non‐small cell lung cancer patients in Belgium: A population‐based study
Leen Verleye,C. De Gendt,F. Vrijens,Viki Schillemans,Cécile Camberlin,Geert Silversmit,Sabine Stordeur,E. Van Eycken,Cécile Dubois,Jo Robays,Isabelle Wauters,J. Van Meerbeeck +11 more
TL;DR: Although not all NSCLC patients received treatment as ideally recommended by guidelines, these results do not necessarily represent poor quality of care as patient characteristics and preferences need to be taken into account.

Quality of care and variability in lung cancer management across Belgian hospitals: a population-based study using routinely available data
Cindy De Gendt,Leen Verleye,Jo Robays,Viki Schillemans,Cécile Camberlin,Sabine Stordeur,Cécile Dubois,Elisabeth Van Eycken,Isabelle Wauters,Jan P. van Meerbeeck +9 more
TL;DR: This study highlights the feasibility to develop a multidisciplinary set of quality indicators using population-based data and examines the variability of care between hospitals in Belgium based on evidence-based quality indicators.
Association between surgical volume and post-operative mortality and survival after surgical resection in lung cancer in Belgium: A population-based study.
Viki Schillemans,Cindy De Gendt,Jo Robays,Geert Silversmit,Leen Verleye,Cécile Camberlin,Cécile Dubois,Sabine Stordeur,Isabelle Wauters,Jan P. van Meerbeeck,Elizabeth Van Eycken,Paul De Leyn +11 more
TL;DR: A higher hospital surgical volume is associated with improved outcome in NSCLC patients after surgical resection in Belgium, and minimally 10 surgical interventions per year seem to be required to achieve an optimal performance.
