Although some cancer treatments are available for children in New Brunswick, pediatric oncology patients are diagnosed and receive much of their care at specialized centres outside the province. Most of these patients are referred to the IWK Health Centre, or the Centre Hospitalier de l’Université Laval and the Sainte-Justine University Children’s Hospital.
