Cancer can be difficult to understand and coping can be stressful. It helps to have someone you can talk to and trust for reliable information.
Our Information Service is a national, bilingual, toll-free service available to cancer patients, their families, the general public and healthcare professionals.
We take time to answer your questions in clear understandable terms and search for the information you need about:
- all types of cancer
- cancer treatment and side effects
- clinical trials
- coping with cancer
- emotional support services
- prevention
- help in the community
- complementary and alternative therapies
Our service is available Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in English and French. For other languages, we can access an interpreter service.
The Cancer Information Service is a member of the International Cancer Information Services Group (ICISG).
