If your patient requires a referral to a cancer centre due to a new cancer diagnosis, visit Alberta’s Pathway Hub. Search Cancer for the most up-to-date referral information and instructions.
If your patient requires a referral to a cancer centre due to a cancer recurrence, contact their treating oncologist or cancer centre.
Specific instructions broken down by cancer type, can also be found on Surveillance.
If the contact information for the patient's treating oncologist or cancer centre is not available, search the patient's cancer type on Alberta Referral Directory.
Many patients wait weeks between a cancer diagnosis and their first cancer centre appointment, often feeling anxious and uncertain during that time.
To support patients, resources are available such as the Newly Diagnosed with Cancer handbook, information about cancer centres, support programs, specialized services for young adults and Indigenous people, appointment preparation tools, and cancer-specific resource sheets—helping patients feel informed, supported, and prepared for their care.
