About
Introduction
As a clinical radiation-oncologist and the deputy medical head of department of Holland PTC I combine patient care with research and management. I have published 24 peer reviewed articles, also in high impact journals such as the Journal of National Cancer Institute. I review papers for JAMA Oncology, Radiotherapy Oncology, and J Thoracic Onology. In 2017 I acquired my PhD to stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases.
