The Cape Breton Cancer Centre currently is undergoing a transformational redevelopment project that will provide a more comfortable, supportive centre focused on patients and their families. Technology and additional supports under one roof will enhance the quality of care for patients, closer to home, and reduce the number of visits over the course of treatment.
