KWF Kankerbestrijding is a Dutch non-profit organization based in Amsterdam, North Holland, focused on cancer. It works to reduce cancer risk, advance treatments, and improve the lives of people affected by the disease, with a history spanning more than seven decades. The charity supports life-changing research, advocates for timely access to expensive medicines, and aims to mobilize a nationwide response to cancer. It runs public outreach and education initiatives, from accessible information events to a secure online community, kanker.nl, to support those living with cancer. Based in Amsterdam, it serves patients, families, and healthcare professionals by blending research efforts with patient support. A recent development includes a 2024 collaboration with Cancer Research UK to advance access to cancer treatments in clinical trials through its charitable drug development facility.
