IKNL (Integraal Kankercentrum Nederland)

Overview

Integraal Kankercentrum Nederland (IKNL) is an independent knowledge institute dedicated to improving oncological and palliative care in the Netherlands. Its mission is to reduce the impact of cancer by utilizing insights from the Nederlandse Kankerregistratie (NKR), a comprehensive cancer registry that has been operational since 1989. IKNL collaborates with healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers to enhance cancer care and prevention, focusing on quality improvement and patient outcomes.

The institute's core activities include registering and analyzing data on cancer patients, conducting scientific research, and supporting quality improvement initiatives. IKNL manages the NKR, which collects and standardizes data from hospitals, providing a complete view of cancer care. It also develops tools like the Nederlandse Kankeratlas, an interactive resource for mapping cancer incidence, and offers public information through the kanker.nl platform. IKNL partners with various organizations to address key themes in cancer care, ensuring that its findings benefit healthcare professionals and the public alike.
