Kankeronderzoekfonds Limburg 

Cancer research is one of the main spearheads of Maastricht UMC+. Cancer is increasingly becoming a chronic disease and every year the survival rate increases by 1%. This requires a lot of research, which costs money. Kankeronderzoekfonds Limburg wants to involve Limburg in the fight against cancer in order to raise more money that will go directly to research at Maastricht UMC+. Kankeronderzoekfonds Limburg is part of Health Foundation Limburg.
