Dorieke van Balen

Since 2015 I have been working as a hospital pharmacist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. I specialize in oral oncolytics (anti-cancer drugs in tablet form). These are delivered via our oncotheque or delivered to your home.

In addition, I am involved in the preparation of intravenous chemotherapy. We make these medicines in doses that are precisely tailored to each individual. A lot of research is also done at the Netherlands Cancer Institute and this often requires medication. The studies are carried out to ultimately improve care.

The Antoni van Leeuwenhoek is a unique hospital where great things happen and where the patient is always central.
