The Netherlands Cancer Institute offers referrers the opportunity to request a circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis. To do this, go to our laboratory forDNA diagnostics. 

Some of the trials have a Dutch summary suitable for patients. These are here on the website.

Phase 1 study

If there are no more regular treatment options for your patient, there may still be experimental treatment options in the context of the so-called phase 1 studies. If you want to know if your patient may be eligible for one of our phase 1 studies, you can send a short email to fase1@nki.nl.

If you provide at least the following information in the email, we can assess whether your patient could possibly participate in an experimental treatment in our hospital and whether referral for this is useful. We aim to answer your email within a few days.

Minimal data in mail:

• Referrer Name
• Referrer's phone number
• Patient Name
• Patient's date of birth
• Tumor type
• Previous treatments
• Known results of molecular diagnostics

NB: Are you a patient and do you want to know if you are eligible to participate in a phase 1 study? Then ask your treating specialist to contact us.
