Precision Oncology

Connecting the right treatment to the right patient

Precision oncology builds on deep molecular understanding of cancer to guide treatment decisions. At the NKI, we combine cutting-edge technologies, innovative trial design and close interdisciplinary collaboration to identify which therapy works best for which patient. From biomarker discovery to implementation in clinical practice, we work to ensure that personalized treatment becomes the new standard care for all patients.

Which treatment combinations are most effective in which cancer patients?

How can we best treat patients with drug resistant cancers?

How can we measure and predict whether a cancer treatment is effective as early as possible?

Precision oncology is all about finding the right treatment for the right patient at the right time and the right dose. Our multidisciplinary and highly complementary setup at the NKI, as comprehensive cancer center, is ideally geared to achieve this goal.
