Skin Cancer and Melanoma Center

You will receive excellent medical care

• All medical specialists and nurse practitioners involved in your treatment are specialized in melanoma and skin cancer. 
• The Netherlands Cancer Institute Skin Cancer and Melanoma Center was first established in 2010. All nurse practitioners, dermatologists, surgeons, head and neck surgeons, plastic surgeons, nuclear health physicians, radiologists, radiation oncologists, and genetic specialists work together to find the best treatment plan for you. 
• Your appointments can easily be adjusted to fit your needs, and you can meet with multiple specialists at once if needed. 
• The Netherlands Cancer Institute is one of the four expert centers for merkel cell cancer. We have developed the treatment guidelines and have a special treatment team for this specific skin cancer type.

Our specialists excel at skin cancer treatment. They come together for a multidisciplinary team meeting, during which they will review your test results and medical history in order to find the best treatment plan for you. Your physician will discuss this plan with you. At the Netherlands Cancer Institute, you are an equal partner on our team, and we will find your optimal treatment option together. 

Our specialists at the Netherlands Cancer Institute have developed an app, 'Melanoma Trials', containing all running clinical trials for melanomas.

Medical oncologist Christian Blank:

“Melanoma specialists at the Netherlands Cancer Institute are often approached by external parties who want to know if their patients with stage 3 melanomas can participate in a trial. These patients have often already started their treatment, which usually disqualifies them from participation. It is vital to make sure that surgeons and medical oncologists know what their trial options are before starting treatment. This app is designed for specialists, but patients can find information on it too. I do recommend that patients view the app together with their physician. He or she can help interpret the information.”

You can download the Melanoma Trials app at the App Store.
