Interview: a better life after breast cancer

Breast cancer patients should be given more control over their own lives, Dr Annemieke Witteveen believes. A better life with fewer complaints and fewer check-ups.

"We focus on empowering a women to become the best 2.0 version of herself”

- Dr Annemieke Witteveen -

One in seven women is affected by breast cancer. They get yearly follow-up checks after the treatment, to detect recurrence of cancer as early as possible. This group of patients is growing because more women are getting breast cancer and more women survive the disease thanks to better treatment.
