Province announces 10-year cancer action plan, including $440-million investment

The B.C. government unveiled a 10-year cancer-action plan Friday, with an initial investment of $440 million over three years to better detect, treat and prevent cancer.The initial funding aims to expand cancer-care teams and hours of care and access, revise payment models for oncologists and other cancer-care professionals, improve cancer screening programs, and support travel costs for patients from rural communities.

The remaining $170 million in one-time funding is earmarked for more clinical trials, genomic testing, and expanding access to new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and treatments. Overall goals include eliminating cervical cancer in B.C. and improving cancer survival rates and quality of life for survivors.

I'd be happy if my brother had a Dr who could give him the results of his lung cancer early detection screening..seems drop in clinic Dr won't contact with results.

What good is all that money if you don't have a doctor to gain access to those treatments?

Family doctors, family doctors, family doctors!

How about a twenty/ thrirty/ forty year plan comrade?
