It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Corien de Vries on the 12th of September. Corien was one of the first patient representatives in Oncode Institute’s Patient Perspective Programme, working closely with Oncode Investigator Leila Akkari’s group at the Netherlands Cancer Institute.
Despite her own battle with cancer, Corien remained dedicated to improving research and care for others. Her practical approach and strong sense of purpose made a lasting impact on our community. In her final act of generosity, she donated her legacy to sarcoma research and treatment at the Antony van Leeuwenhoek medical center, supporting future advancements in understanding and treating this cancer.
We are deeply grateful for her contributions and will honor her memory with respect and admiration.
