Why are ever more people contracting cancer?

Why are ever more people contracting cancer in the Netherlands? Why do we top the list of the number of women who contract breast cancer and why do we top the list with our fatality rate? Only in the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland and Iceland is the fatality rate concerning breast cancer higher than in the other EU countries.

Is something the matter with the quality of our healthcare?

Our healthcare system generally shows signs of reticence and defensive behavior. An organisation that aims at development and progress, is characterised by openness. As people are aware everything can always be improved, they will accept and research other kinds of views. In the business world, this is applied successfully by the name of bench marking.
