Erasmus MC

Erasmus MC stands for a healthy population and excellence in healthcare. By conducting ground-breaking work, we aim to push boundaries through leading the way in research, education and healthcare. We work with the latest equipment and techniques in a state-of-the-art environment.

The Department of Radiotherapy of the Erasmus MC Cancer Institute is one of the largest radiotherapy departments in Europe. On a yearly basis, more than 5.500 patients are treated for mainly oncological diseases. Since 2018, the department has moved to a new building with state-of-the-art radiotherapy equipment. The department has an extensive and renowned research program in the field of high-precision adaptive radiotherapy, automated treatment plan optimization, robotic radiotherapy, molecular radiobiology, hyperthermia, and proton therapy. Together with Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC) and TU Delft, the department participates in HollandPTC. The division of Medical Physics has about 55 employees, including 13 medical physicists and 3 medical physicists in training.
