Cancer Center Amsterdam Foundation
For more than 30 years, the Cancer Center Amsterdam Foundation has been committed to facilitating research into early detection and better treatment methods for people with cancer.
Mission
Cancer is a disease that affects everyone. One in two Dutch people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Cancer Center Amsterdam, the clinical oncological research center of Amsterdam UMC, wants to let people with cancer live longer and heal as much as possible. This requires a lot of research into earlier detection of cancer, tailored therapy and improving the quality of life of people with cancer. It is our mission to make this research possible in order to force a breakthrough by helping to develop innovative treatments.
