Radiation Oncology in The Netherlands

As part of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics "Around the Globe" section, we describe the current status of radiation oncology in The Netherlands. The Netherlands ranks highest in rate of acceptance of manuscripts of this journal (personal communication with A. Zietman, August 14, 2017) and has a large history in clinical studies and technological innovations in radiation therapy. We address the Dutch health care and insurance system, the history and organization of radiation therapy, the education and training, quality aspects, and the country's role in research and innovation.
