Sarcomas and GIST Center

Welcome to the NKI Sarcomas and GIST center at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. We specialize in the treatment of sarcomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), malignant tumors that originate in soft tissue or bones. That’s why these rare tumors are also known as soft tissue tumors. At the NKI Sarcoma and GIST Center, we have a team of expert physicians, nurses, and specialist available to help guide you through the process of treating these rare conditions. At our center, you will receive the best care possible.

The specialists at our clinic are familiar with sarcomas throughout the entire body. They have years of experience and expertise with sarcomas and GIST. That’s why you can be sure that the Netherlands Cacer Institute is the right hospital for you. Our specialists see the most sarcoma patients in the Netherlands every year, so you can be sure that we remain at the forefront of the latest research and treatment of the disease.

At the NKI, you will receive the most optimized and personalized treatment that is currently available for you. We understand that you and your loved ones are facing a difficult time in your lives, and you are not alone.

Because soft tissue tumors are so rare and varied in their location, behavior, and sensitivity to treatment, the past couple of years have shown us how important it is to refer these sarcoma patients to an expert center for soft tissue tumors like the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Especially patients with high-risk sarcomas are proven to have a better quality of life after their treatment when treated at an expert center.
