BC Cancer operates six regional cancer centres, providing assessment and diagnostic services, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and supportive care. BC Cancer works in partnership with communities to provide a network of chemotherapy clinics so patients can receive care closer to home.

Research is an essential part of BC Cancer’s mission to not only find the causes of cancer, but to find better treatments for prolonged life and better quality of life.

The BC Cancer Foundation raises funds for cancer research and enhancements to care at BC Cancer.
