Iris van der Ploeg

The Netherlands Cancer Institute played a major role in my training as an oncological surgeon. I conducted scientific (PhD) research on patients with breast cancer and skin cancer (melanoma). I also did my specialization in surgery and a fellowship at the Netherlands Cancer Institute.

Since October 1, 2017, I have been working as a staff surgeon with a focus on breast cancer and thyroid cancer. The low-threshold collaboration with other specialists and the innovative scientific environment at the Netherlands Cancer Institute form a unique formula for the best patient care. As a result, each patient receives tailor-made treatment.
