Excellence

We strive to attain the best possible results in our patient care as well as our research. We offer the best possible treatment results for the best possible quality of life according to the latest developments and insights. Our researchers work hard every day to better understand the way cancer develops, and how we can best cure it.

Groundbreaking

We deliver groundbreaking care and research. This means that we can think outside of the box if this is in our patient's benefit. We continuously strive to improve and innovate. We think ahead and seek out opportunities.

Together

Delivering the best care and research means working together. We look for solutions, possibilities, and innovation. It is important to us to find a suitable treatment plan, or combination of treatments at our hospital, together with our patients.
