New Brunswick Cancer Network

The New Brunswick Cancer Network (NBCN) is a branch of the Department of Health and its mission is to reduce the burden of cancer for all New Brunswickers through the planning, delivery and evaluation of sustainable cancer services.

The NBCN is responsible for ensuring a provincial, evidence-based approach to the delivery of cancer programs and services for all elements of cancer care. This includes prevention, screening, treatment, follow-up, palliative care, education and research.

Cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed chronic diseases in New Brunswick and is the leading cause of death in the province. Two in five Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

The New Brunswick Cancer Network is a partner of the Atlantic Provinces Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Network (APPHON) . The goal of APPHON is to achieve and maintain the highest possible standards of care for children and adolescents with cancer and serious blood disorders in the Atlantic provinces.
