eczema, took the lead in formulating the national guideline improving care for patients with atopic eczema. The department also initiated funding for the first patient portals for eczema and food allergy. The eczema portal was praised by the Ministry of Health as one of the most innovative new information technology projects. Patients files were digitized, making the outpatient clinic for venereal diseases the first paper-free clinic at UMC Utrecht. In 2010 Vigfús Sigurdsson took over from Carla Bruijnzeel-Koomen the responsibility of training dermatologists. Van Weelden retired in 2011 and with his departure a long era of research in photodermatology ended. References 1. Zoon JJ.

Research Cutaneous lymphomas Van Vloten continued his work in the Dutch cutaneous lymphoma group (chapter 6, page 86). This group, consisting of dermatologists and pathologists, discusses all new patients with (suspected) cutaneaus lymphoma from the whole country on a quarterly cycle. Diagnosis is finalized and advice given on therapy. All data are stored and made available for follow-up studies. More than 3000 patients are included in this lymphoma group.[1,2] The group plays an important role in the European Organization for Research and Therapy of Cancer (EORTC) and in 1997 proposed a classification for primary cutaneous lymphomas, which is still being used today.[3] The Dutch group is very active and participates in exentsive international studies on different subclasses of cutaneous lymphoma. This collaboration is essential since cutaneous lymphomas are rare diseases.[4] 70 BWEADVSMGFINCORR:Opmaak 1 21-07-2014 17:40 Pagina 70
