There are more than 200 types of cancer and a wide array of available treatments. From the onset of symptoms to treatment, each person’s experience with cancer is different.

On this page you will find links to patient resources on Cancer Care Ontario’s web site, as well as links to other sources of frequently requested cancer information. This information is provided to help inform patients, their families and caregivers so that they can become more involved in care decisions and supported at every step of the way.

To discuss any of these topics with a cancer information specialist, call the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cancer Information Service, toll-free in Canada, at 1-888-939-3333, or send an e-mail to cis@ontario.cancer.ca .
