Mijke Bol

Since March 2012 I have been working at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI). In addition to general diagnostics, my focus areas are cytology and gynaecopathology.

In my work you can encounter all kinds of things under the microscope; Tissue pieces are removed from patients from head to toe. It is varied and responsible work: in the end we say whether or not it is cancer, whether there are metastases in the lymph nodes and whether the tumor has completely disappeared. It is a difficult, but challenging profession.
