Biography

My mission is to redefine Standard Radiotherapy

As a radiation oncologist, I treat cancer patients with high precision radiotherapy. The UMC Utrecht has the right machinery for this (2x MRI-linac, 10x CT-linac). My goal is providing the best cancer treatment. Some patients want to live as long as possible regardless of treatment side effects, others want quality of life. To find balance is key.

The UMC Utrecht department of radiation oncology is a terrific place to spend my days, as it is even the birthplace of the MRI-linac.

I subspecialized in treatment of brain tumors and lung cancer. About half of my time I spend on research as associate professor.

 

Brain tumors:

  • Increasing quality of life by shorter but better focused radiation treatment
  • Increasing overall survival by combining better treatment modalities

Brain metastases:

  • Finding best treatments for each specific patient: personalized medicine.
  • Increasing quality of life by incorporating MR-guided treatment post operative (MRI-linac)

Lung cancer:

  • Better predicting patient survival by deep learning
  • Increasing quality of life by incorporating MR-guided treatment (MR-Linac)

Cardiac Ablative SBRT:

  • In collaboration with 17 other European hospitals we develop strategies to treat Ventricular Tachycardia in the STOPSTORM framework.

 

Postdoc:

  • Szabolcs David (brain tumors)
