The Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology: in 2018, the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology opened; a center where the best healthcare professionals and scientists come together in the field of pediatric oncology, to work together on a unique mission: to cure every child with cancer, with optimal quality of life. A mission that remains urgent, as one in four children with cancer dies, and many children who do survive experience the effects of radical treatments throughout their lives.

The Wijnen groep: Our group focuses on the surgical care in pediatric oncological surgery. We aim to improve surgical decision making by developing innovative new strategies like 3D imaging and fluoresence guided surgery. We use personalized models to strive for the best surgical care possible.

Myrthe Buser: Myrthe Buser was trained as a Technical Physician and is currently working on implementing Artificial Intelligence to personalize surgical care of children with a solid tumor.
