| Main Objective: To study the prevalence of a vitamin D deficiency and the prevalence of fatigue in patients in complete remission after successful treatment of a gynaecological malignancy. ;Primary end point(s): Vitamin D level and fatigue score at t=0 months and t=3 months. ;Secondary Objective: -To answer the question "Is fatigue and weakness, in patients in complete remission after successful treatment of a gynaecological malignancy, a consequence of the disease and/ or the treatment and/ or is a vitamine D deficiency of major importance as well? -To test the hypothesis "A decreased score on the fatigue assessment is found in patients in complete remission after successful treatment of a gynaecological malignancy, after treatment of a vitamin D deficiency with vitamin D supplementation therapy in comparison with patients treated with a placebo.” | — |
