Our healthcare providers were recently invited again to visit Stichting de Gouden Handen in the Southeastern part of Amsterdam, this time to provide information about breast cancer. Cancer is a difficult topic within certain communities. Stichting Gouden Handen wants to raise awareness about cancer and encourages conversations about cancer among people from various cultural backgrounds. An initiative we wholeheartedly support.
This week marked the official opening of the new breast cancer diagnostic department at the NKI Center for Early Cancer Diagnostics (CVV). This expansion is an important milestone for the Center’s mission: to promote new advancements in early cancer detection and implement them in practice as quickly as possible. The official opening was conducted by screening patient and artist Aysha de Groot, also known as "Meis." She shared her powerful personal story with attendees and performed her self-written song "Rond," in which she conveyed her personal battle with cancer.
