Canada's Childhood Cancer Treatment Centres
Of all the illnesses that a child may have, cancer is often the scariest. Yet today, parents have good reasons to be optimistic since more than 70 percent of children with cancer can be cured if they are referred to one of Canada's 17 childhood cancer treatment centres ( click here to find your closest centre).
Canada's pediatric cancer treatment centres have developed comprehensive health care teams that include all medical specialties with the skills needed to diagnose and treat children with cancer.
Since childhood cancer is uncommon, children need evaluation by experts in childhood cancer as soon as cancer is suspected. The correct diagnosis depends upon examination by several types of childhood specialists and some sophisticated laboratory tests. These are available at Canada's established childhood cancer centres.
