The Máxima Center takes care of it

When a child has cancer, only one thing is important: cure. Unfortunately, one in four children still dies of cancer. At the Princess Máxima Center in Utrecht, we treat all children in the Netherlands who develop cancer. Here, doctors, nurses and scientists work intensively together to find new and better treatments. With only one goal: to cure every child with cancer, with optimal quality of life. #hetMáximazorgtervoor

If you have had cancer as a child, you are under supervision at the LATER clinic of the Princess Máxima Centre. Tijn (20) was diagnosed with cancer when he was a freshman at 12 and now comes to this LATER outpatient clinic: 'I still have problems with painful hands and feet. The LATER doctor checks how these are doing and gives me advice.' Curious about Tijn’s story? Click here for the article.
