All retrospective medical data and/or biospecimen studies at both institutes have been executed pursuant to Dutch legislation and international standards. Prior to 25 May 2018, national legislation on data protection applied, as well as the International Guideline on Good Clinical Practice. From 25 May 2018, we also adhere to the GDPR.
