Cancer Care

The largest specialized cancer centre for Atlantic Canadians, the QEII Health Sciences Centre delivers world-class care to address the country’s highest cancer rates.

Dreaming Bigger

Building a QEII Cancer Centre

It’s time to create a space that honours the journey of every patient who visits the QEII.

As part of the provincial government’s QEII New Generation project, a brand-new cancer centre is coming. To put it simply, this space will feel good upon entry, filled with natural light and elements that nurture the spirit.

And when QEII Foundation donors get involved, frontline workers are supported in the ways they need most. Our community helps the hospital purchase next-generation equipment and technology. Donors also provide critical research funding, so that innovation is continuous and intersects all aspects of care.

Most recently, our community funded new genetic sequencing technology. This DNA analysis tool leads to targeted care and can even spare patients from unnecessary treatments.

The QEII’s Dr. Ravi Ramjeesingh is a medical oncologist and next-generation sequencing expert.

In 2021, donors funded a best-in-the-world detection tool for neuroendocrine tumours (NETs).
