With the launch of the Dutch Cancer Atlas by the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation (IKNL) in January 2023, anyone can gain insight into the regional impact of cancer in the Netherlands. Now, the Dutch Cancer Atlas is also available in English; you can switch to English by clicking on the ‘change language’ button (with the flag) within the atlas itself. The interactive online atlas shows geographical patterns in cancer diagnoses, based on where people lived when they were diagnosed. IKNL analyzed these patterns for the 24 most common cancers in the Netherlands and for all of those cancers combined. Geographical variation can be observed for certain cancers, while for others, there is little to no variation. For all cancers combined, there is minimal geographical variation in the Netherlands.

The model was developed on a nationwide cohort from the Netherlands Cancer Registry and externally validated in a nationwide cohort from the National Disease Registration Services in England.
