KWF Dutch Cancer Society

Against cancer. For life.

Every person in the Netherlands will at some stage have an experience with cancer. When you have cancer, it disrupts your life, but also when someone you know has the disease. The consequences are overwhelming. To all those millions of lives, every day we can make the difference, successfully, for more than 71 years. We not only fight this disease, but we also strive for a better life living with cancer.

We work on life-changing research and make sure that expensive medicines are available quickly to everyone. From approachable open houses to the safe community kanker.nl making sure we can support everyone who is living with cancer. And by mobilising the whole of the Netherlands for our joint mission. To make sure fewer people get cancer, more people are cured and more people live better with and after cancer.

Simply because there’s so much to live for.
