Renske Altena
Chief Physician, Oncology and Internal Medicine
Associate Professor in Oncology

I have extensive clinical and scientific experience in oncology and am passionate about providing safe and personalized care to cancer patients. Throughout my professional career, I have learned that accessibility and continuity – for both patients and their loved ones – are crucial throughout the entire cancer journey.
For me, it is self-evident that diagnostics and treatment recommendations must always be based on the latest scientific evidence, international guidelines, and regulatory approvals from authorities such as the EMA and FDA. In addition, I believe that an ethical approach is of utmost importance when caring for people with cancer.
