Zwaveling was elected a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1979. In 1992 he was made Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion.

1971

In 1971, together with radiotherapist professor Piet Thomas and Emile van Slooten, surgeon at the Antoni van Leeuwenhoekziekenhuis, Zwaveling published the first breast cancer treatment protocol in the Netherlands. Moreover, in 1973 he initiated the first national multicenter randomized trial on adjuvant chemotherapy in breastcancer. Along with publishing scientific papers, he was actively involved in the training of students, residents and surgeons. To this purpose, Zwaveling wrote and co-edited multiple textbooks and educational articles. The textbook Oncology (co-edited with the sociologist R.van Zonneveld) appeared in 1973 and the first Dutch textbook of general surgery (Leerboek Chirurgie) was published in 1983. Because of these achievements Zwaveling is considered one of the founders of surgical oncology in the Netherlands, together with his colleagues professor Jan Oldhoff of the University Medical Center Groningen and Emile van Slooten. In 1981 their efforts led to the establishment of the “Dutch society of Surgical Oncology”, of which they became honorary members in 1991. In 1981 Zwaveling succeeded Vink as Head of the department of surgery in Leiden. His teaching assignment was then broadened to general surgery and the surgical oncology section came to be headed by professor Kees Welvaart and professor Cornelis van de Velde. Zwaveling retired from his clinical work in 1992. Until 2010 he worked as a medical adviser and interim manager and, in this context, advised on establishing the new specialism Technical Medicine at the University of Twente.

In 1960 Zwaveling obtained his PhD at Leiden University on the subject of experimental chemotherapeutical treatment of implantation metastases with a thesis titled: "Implantatie-metastasen : chemotherapeutische prophylaxe en groei in geïnfecteerd milieu". At the time, these were the first research papers on cancer chemotherapy in the Netherlands and led to the clinical implementation of chemotherapy in Dutch surgery. Vink and Zwaveling published the pivotal paper ‘Chancing Concepts in Cancer Surgery”in 1962. In addition to regular cancerchemotherapy isolated perfusion was introduced, followed by intra-arterial infusion two years later. In 1963 Zwaveling followed a one-year fellowship at the surgical department of the UW Health University Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin (USA) for one year to be familiarized with American surgical procedures and the use of chemotherapy in surgery. Zwaveling became a lector of surgery, specializing in clinical oncology, at Leiden University in 1968 and was appointed a full professor of surgical oncology in 1972.
