KWF Kankerbestrijding

The patient is key Through our actions, we support patients in every aspect of their life. For people who have not yet been diagnosed with cancer, as well as for patients who can’t be cured. Our main goals are: • To prevent cancer wherever we can. • To stimulate better treatment for every type of cancer. • To aim for a better quality of life for (recovered) patients and their loved ones. • To ensure that high quality palliative care is available for all patients. Through stimulation of focused scientific research, policy making, knowledge transfer and collaboration with our stakeholders, KWF is dedicated to improving the lives of cancer patients and their loved ones. Our organisational structure enables us to respond quickly to developments in society and research. Examples include our campaign for the HPV-vaccine, which prevents HPV-related cancers. And our support for new initiatives to stimulate broader availability of cancer drugs. There are enormous challenges ahead of us. KWF can’t face these alone. Therefore, we join forces with (inter)national stakeholders to achieve our goals. With the support of society, which includes 100,000 volunteers and almost 1 million donors. We work together for a better life with and without cancer ; this is what we stand for!
