Colonoscopy Center

Did you take part in the colorectal cancer population screening, and was blood found in your stool? Please consider coming in for further diagnostic examination at the Netherlands Cancer Institute colonoscopy center. Anyone is welcome at our center, even people who were referred to a different colonoscopy center by The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu; RIVM). You can change the appointment yourself through DigiD - see the instructions in the letter containing your results. We will schedule your colonoscopy with you and always try to invite you for your consultation within 15 weekdays. Your colonoscopy will be done by gastroenterologists at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. 

The first Dutch colorectal cancer population screening took place in 2014. This population screening program is intended for all men and women between 55 and 75 years old and is carried out by the RIVM. Your stool will be screened for blood. Tests are sent to your home and can be returned to the lab.
