Consultation has concluded.

One in two Albertans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Early diagnosis is critical for better patient outcomes.

Today, there is no provincial diagnosis program to help coordinate and accelerate cancer diagnosis. Working with patients, families, communities and Primary Care, the Cancer Strategic Clinical Network has co-designed an Alberta Cancer Diagnosis Program with a vision to provide:

  • Patients: timely diagnosis and supports in navigating the cancer system.
  • Primary care providers: consistent processes for accessing appropriate tests and referrals and enhanced communication to expedite and support patients through diagnosis.
  • Health system: coordinated and best use of resources with elimination of unnecessary tests and avoidance of hospitalizations.
