Since August 2017, I have been working as a radiation oncologist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute and specialize in the treatment of patients with lung cancer and gynecological cancer.

It is a great advantage that we have all the knowledge and expertise under 1 roof at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Because for the proper treatment of patients, it is necessary that we work together with all the disciplines involved (such as pulmonologists, internists, surgeons and gynaecologists). In this way, we can provide the best care to our patients. I think the best thing about my work is that by developing new radiation techniques, we treat patients better and better and with fewer side effects.
