What is the process of becoming a patient?
Your journey with CANARC begins by completing our patient inquiry form. Once we receive your information, a member of our Patient Care Team will contact you to answer your initial questions and guide you through the next steps of the consultation process.
You will be assigned a dedicated Patient Care Coordinator who will serve as your primary point of contact, taking the time to understand your diagnosis, medical history, treatment experience, and individual care goals. To support a comprehensive clinical assessment, you will be asked to submit your relevant medical records, including pathology reports, laboratory results, imaging studies, and treatment history.
Our multidisciplinary clinical team will carefully review your medical information and develop a personalized integrative care plan tailored to your specific needs. Once your assessment is complete, your Patient Care Coordinator will schedule a consultation with one of our healthcare professionals to discuss your recommended care plan, answer your medical and non medical questions, and explain the available services and support options.
After you have reviewed your personalized care recommendations and decided to proceed, your Patient Care Coordinator will assist you with scheduling your appointments, completing the required documentation, and coordinating every aspect of your consultation experience with CANARC, ensuring a smooth and well supported journey from your first contact onward.
When should I come for treatment?
The best time to begin your care journey is as soon as you are ready. We encourage every patient to take the time to understand their diagnosis, explore their available care options, and make informed decisions with confidence. Once you have chosen the approach that best aligns with your healthcare needs and personal goals, early consultation and timely intervention can provide valuable support throughout your cancer care journey. At CANARC, our team is ready to guide you every step of the way with personalized, evidence informed care and ongoing clinical support.
Are previous medical records required?
To provide the most appropriate recommendations, we request your most recent medical records before your consultation. These records enable our multidisciplinary clinical team to assess your current health status and develop a personalized integrative care plan tailored to your clinical needs.
Where available, please submit recent laboratory results, pathology and biopsy reports, diagnostic imaging reports such as CT, MRI, or PET scans, and your treatment history. Providing up to date medical information helps ensure a comprehensive clinical assessment and more informed care recommendations.
Do you treat my type of cancer?
At CANARC, our integrative approach to cancer care is guided by the principles of personalized, patient centered, and evidence informed medicine. Rather than focusing solely on the disease, we consider the whole person by addressing the physical, nutritional, emotional, and lifestyle factors that influence overall health and recovery.
Our multidisciplinary team develops individualized care recommendations based on each patient’s diagnosis, medical history, current treatment, and personal health goals. Through comprehensive consultations, nutrition support, wellness interventions, emotional care, survivorship planning, and patient education, we help patients complement their conventional cancer treatment while supporting their overall wellbeing and quality of life.
At CANARC, we believe that effective cancer care extends beyond managing the disease. By supporting the body, promoting healthy lifestyle practices, strengthening emotional wellbeing, and empowering patients with knowledge, we aim to help individuals navigate their cancer journey with confidence, resilience, and compassionate professional guidance.
Do you treat children?
Due to governmental regulations, we treat patients 18 years and older.
