Anne Huisman

Since the beginning of 2012 I have been working as a hospital psychiatrist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Together with my colleagues, I treat patients who suffer from psychological complaints due to their illness or treatment or in whom existing psychological problems are getting worse. For this we use both psychotherapy and medication. I think it is important that psychosocial care is a natural part of oncological treatment. At the Netherlands Cancer Institute, the lines of communication are short and we work together within multidisciplinary teams to offer each patient the best personal treatment.
