About Us

NBCN is a division of the Department of Health, established to create an evidence-based provincial strategy for all elements of cancer care, including prevention, screening, treatment, follow-up care, palliative care, education, and research.

Cancer is the second-leading cause of death among New Brunswickers. It is estimated that 4,200 residents will be diagnosed with cancer and an estimated 1,950 will die from cancer in 2007.

Mission

To reduce the burden of cancer for all New Brunswickers.
“Working together to ensure high quality services”

Goal

To reduce the incidence, morbidity, and mortality of cancer among New Brunswickers through the planning, delivery, and evaluation of sustainable cancer services.

Scope

To ensure a provincially coordinated approach to cancer programs and services, involving the development of policies and standards for all elements of cancer care. In conjunction with other Department of Health divisions, NBCN works with Regional Health Authorities to efficiently deliver cancer services to New Brunswickers, as close to home as possible.
