Hilliene Vandermeer

Hilliene Vandermeer serves as a Researcher in the Department of Public Health at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, specializing in evidence-based cancer screening methodologies. Her work critically evaluates colorectal cancer screening programs through epidemiological and health economic lenses, contributing to national public health policy development in the Netherlands.

Her research focuses on optimizing fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-based screening through risk stratification, participation analysis, and harm-benefit assessment. Key interests include socioeconomic determinants of cancer risk, immigrant health disparities in gastric cancer, and cost-effectiveness modeling for screening age guidelines. Her methodological approach integrates large-scale population data with clinical outcomes to refine preventive healthcare strategies.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent thematic progression toward precision screening protocols, with increasing emphasis on personalized risk assessment using fecal hemoglobin concentrations and demographic factors. Her 2024-2025 work establishes critical parameters for screening initiation/cessation ages and identifies structural barriers to screening participation among vulnerable populations.
