Eva Swart

I started as an AYA nurse specialist at the NKI in October 2020. In the Netherlands, I am the only nurse specialist who has been specially appointed for AYA care. AYA stands for Adolescents & Young Adults and these are young adults between the ages of 18-39 who get cancer. During and after the treatment process, patients can schedule an appointment with the AYA care team at the outpatient clinic with all kinds of different questions, for example about fertility, studying, entering into relationships and self-image.

I am grateful that I can offer AYAs tools in all phases of the treatment and the period afterwards.
