Wieke Verbeek

Since 2014 I have been working as a gastroenterologist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute.

I specialize in the treatment of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). We work closely together in a multidisciplinary team NET treatment team, this outpatient clinic was founded in 1997 and obtained the prestigious designation 'ENETS Centre of Excellence' in 2011.

I find it special to guide and treat patients (and their loved ones) with this rare form of cancer, and to be able to offer them more clarity and guidance. It is my goal to offer every patient the approach and treatment that suits them best. Not only in terms of medical content, but also in the field of communication. I also think that it is very important that there is a good relationship of trust between doctor and patient.

Our joint commitment to high-quality care and good quality of life, in which the patient is always central, make the NKI a great team to be part of. 

At the NKI, I also perform gastrointestinal endoscopies in the Research and Treatment Center (OBC), where I also perform screening colonoscopies as part of the colorectal cancer screening. If cancer is detected at an early stage, the outcome for the patient is significantly better.
