Oncology Simplified – What you can do tomorrow to reduce the cancer burden in your patients

Cancer is the leading cause of death of Canadians. An estimated 2 in 5 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and approximately 1 in 4 will die from it. Management advancements has led to improved outcomes and quality of life for oncology patients. With screening and early-stage diagnosis being so fundamental to survival and optimal outcomes, primary care clinicians play a key role in identification and screening patients at risk. These clinicians also play an important role in supporting these patients before, during and after active cancer treatment.

Oncology Simplified is designed to provide primary care clinicians with relevant information on five different prevalent cancer types. Each module will review cancer prevalence, outcomes, prevention, and management. This program will also help to manage common conditions seen in cancer patients every day in your clinical practice.
