Medical Oncologists, Abbotsford Centre
The BC Cancer Agency’s Abbotsford Centre at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre, was completed in August 2008, and is a well equipped interdisciplinary full service cancer centre operating within a rapidly expanding population in the eastern Fraser Valley. Out-patient services include systemic and radiation therapy, patient and family counseling, hereditary counseling, nutrition, palliative care and symptom control, breast services, and surgical oncology. In addition, the centre has a research-focused mandate and a clinical trials program. Medical Oncologists will join physicians already working within the Fraser Valley Cancer Centre to develop a model of care and establish a practice based on the eastern Fraser Valley population.
