The pathway is led by Dr. Peter Andrew and is available Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:30 am to 5 pm Pacific Time (not available Thursday and Friday). The pathway is designed for those patients where the family doctor or nurse practitioner is suspicious of malignancy. A family doctor or nurse practitioner can request guidance on the medical work-up that is needed to help secure a diagnosis, and thereby facilitate a speedier transition of care to the BC Cancer Agency, if appropriate.

Rural providers simply click on the Oncology Zoom contact to set up an appointment. The Zoom call will go directly to the Oncologist’s medical office assistant.

Please only call if it is Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
