The BC Cancer Agency, an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority, provides a province-wide, population-based cancer control program for the residents of British Columbia. The BC Cancer Agency’s mandate covers the spectrum of cancer care from prevention and screening, to diagnosis, treatment, and through to rehabilitation. The BC Cancer Agency’s mandate is driven by a three-fold mission:
This mission drives everything we do, including providing screening, diagnosis and care, setting treatment standards, and conducting research into causes of, and cures for, cancer. View the BC Cancer Agency Factsheet.
The BC Cancer Agency operates four regional cancer centres, providing assessment and diagnostic services, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and supportive care. Each of the BC Cancer Agency’s centres deliver cancer treatment based on provincial standards and guidelines established by the Agency. Furthermore, the BC Cancer Agency works in partnership with communities to provide a network of chemotherapy clinics so patients can receive care closer to home.
