The purpose of this website is to help you and those you care for to get the information that you need about breast cancer and breast cancer treatment in Alberta, Canada. You may have already searched the Internet for information about breast cancer. There are many websites with very good information, but there are also many websites that have inaccurate information or are meant to sell a product.

We have reviewed the best sites and will link you to these for general information about breast cancer. We will also provide information about standard treatments and research treatments available to you at both the Cross Cancer Institute (CCI) in the Northern Program and the Tom Baker Cancer Centre (TBCC) in the Southern Program.

All information on this website has been reviewed and approved by the members of the Alberta Breast Cancer Program Team.

This site is funded exclusively from the ABCP operating budget. No advertisements of any kind are accepted.
