Michiel van den Brekel

I have been working at the Netherlands Cancer Institute since 2000. I specialize in the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer: tumors in the mucous membranes, sinus cavities of the nose and throat, salivary glands, skin, and thyroid. Within our department, we aim to deliver the best quality of patient care focused on recovery while retaining as much qualify of life as possible.

Next to my work in patient care, I am involved in clinical and translational research. I also focus on rehabilitation and survivorship in my research. We train physician assistants looking to specialize in ENT or oral surgery, as well as fellows in the field of head and neck surgery.
