The Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR) has been the national source of cancer data since 1989, providing comprehensive and reliable statistics on cancer in the Netherlands. Maintained by the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation (IKNL), the NCR is a cornerstone of cancer control—supporting efforts from prevention and early detection to treatment, survivorship, and palliative care.
By fostering innovation and collaboration, IKNL actively shares expertise to strengthen cancer registries worldwide. This international exchange helps uncover global cancer disparities and accelerates progress toward reducing the impact of cancer.
Through the NCR, we offer open access to high-quality cancer data that fuels meaningful research and drives better outcomes. To truly advance cancer care, we must deepen international collaboration—across prevention, incidence, diagnostics, treatment, follow-up, survivorship, and end-of-life care.
