Green Light Leiden
Events and mediaThe Image-Guided Surgery group at Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), headed by Dr. Vahrmeijer focuses on safe and efficient clinical translation of image guided surgery applications to improve personalized clinical practice and enhance patient outcome.
2019
Vahrmeijer Lab widely represented at the WMIC in Montreal
Early September 2019, Montreal was the stage of the World Molecular Imaging Conference. At this annual event, The Molecular-Targeted Precision Surgery was represented with 7 poster presentations and 6 oral presentations. After a very successful meeting, dr. Babs Sibinga Mulder was awarded the best poster award for her work on ICG perfusion imaging in reconstructive breast surgery!
2018
The Molecular-Targeted Precision Surgery group organized a Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) symposium. Many national and international leaders in the field joined us at the Trippenhuis in Amsterdam.

Denise Hilling receives Bas Mulder Award 2016
Denise Hilling, MD, PhD, oncologic surgeon in training at the LUMC, has received the prestigious Bas Mulder Award 2016 of the Dutch Cancer Society. She intends to collect proof that the ‘Watch and Wait strategy is a safe approach for the treatment of rectal cancer. Using tumor specific near infrared imaging for surveillance of patients who received neoadjuvant therapy, surgery can be avoided and relapses can be detected earlier avoiding extensive surgery in these patients.
