Organization

The Netherlands Cancer Institute is the hospital and research institute specialising in cancer. Since its foundation in 1913, the Netherlands Cancer Institute has combined the care of cancer patients with groundbreaking research. We aim for the best care for every patient. Because cancer, that can happen to anyone.

The NKI is a Comprehensive Cancer Center with the mission 'a cure for every cancer and excellent care for every patient'. We do this through the combination of cancer care and research and the exchange of knowledge.

Organization

Our core values

Committed

Our care is characterized by personal attention, warm and professional involvement and sincerity. We ensure that the treatment meets the needs, wishes and preferences of our patients, and together we arrive at a tailor-made treatment.

Excellent

We aim for the optimal result, both in the care of our patients and in our research. Based on the latest proven insights, we offer the best possible treatment result and the best possible quality of life. Our researchers work every day to better understand how cancer develops and how we can cure it.

Groundbreaking

We are groundbreaking in our care and our research. This means that, if it is in the interest of our patients, we can think and act outside the box. We are constantly looking for improvement and innovation. We think ahead and see opportunities.

Together

Providing top care and top research means working together. Our lines of communication are short. We think in terms of solutions, possibilities and innovation. We think it is important to make a choice together with our patients for a treatment, or a combination of treatments in our hospital.
