Koert Kuhlmann

Since 2012 I have been working as a surgeon at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. I specialize in the surgical treatment of colon cancer and metastases to the liver. Thanks to a scholarship from the Queen Wilhelmina Fund, I was able to work for two years in the best hospitals in the world in the field of liver surgery. Because of the experience I have gained in Liverpool, New York, Paris and Los Angeles, I am aware of all possible treatment options for tumors of the liver. We can offer most of these to our patients at the Netherlands Cancer Institute.

In addition to my clinical tasks, I am intensively involved in the development of a surgical navigation system (a kind of TomTom) that the surgeon can use during surgery. I also conduct research into the treatment of metastases of colon cancer to the liver.

The high degree of expertise within our hospital, the multidisciplinary care and the conduct of basic and applied research into cancer make our hospital unique. My patients can count on a carefully chosen tailor-made treatment and personal attention and time.
