Margot Tesselaar

Since 2008 I have been a medical oncologist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI). I specialize in the treatment of neuroendocrine cancers within a multidisciplinary team. For the neuroendocrine tumor / cancers of the gastrointestinal and liver system, I work closely with MDL doctors, NET-VSers, surgeons, nuclear medicine physicians and interventional radiologists. In 1997, the "carcinoid" outpatient clinic was established, which is now called the NET/NEC outpatient clinic, which in 2011 obtained the prestigious designation 'Centre of Excellence'.

For skin neuroendocrine cancers, also known as Merkel cell, I work closely with the skin tumor working group. We are also certified by the Ministry of Health as a Merkel Cell cancer knowledge center for the Merkel Cell cancer.
