Koen Hartemink

Since 2013 I have been working as a surgeon at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. After my training as a surgeon at the VU medical center in Amsterdam, I did the advanced training in pulmonary surgery and oncological surgery there. I completed this training in 2010.

Within lung surgery, my areas of interest include: the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma including locally extensive lung carcinoma and Pancoast tumors, as well as mediastinal tumors and minimally invasive surgery (robotic or thoracoscopic procedures (VATS).

In addition, I work within the field of gastrointestinal and surgical oncology with a focus on esophageal and stomach surgery and I do endocrine surgery (thyroid and adrenal surgery).

I participate in various lines of research within pulmonary surgery and gastrointestinal and surgical oncology.  The combination of good clinical patient care in a multidisciplinary team, as well as the extensive opportunities for scientific research at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, are very important to me.
