Elke Rammant

Elke holds a Master of Science in Health Promotion (Ghent University, 2016) and obtained her PhD at the department of Radiation Oncology (Ghent University, 2021) with the doctoral thesis titled “Physical activity and psychosocial cancer (p)rehabilitation to improve health-related quality of life in bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy.” Following her PhD, she spent one year as a research fellow at King’s College London (UK, 2021) and completed a six-month research stay at Flinders University in Australia (2024). As a postdoctoral researcher, she primarily focuses on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and (p)rehabilitation in oncology patients. Within the field of PROs, her work spans the full spectrum—from developing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), to applying PROMs in observational and interventional research, and implementing them in routine clinical practice. A significant part of this work is conducted in collaboration with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Group.
