Certain procedures, such as blood transfusions, PICC line insertions and certain drug infusions are carried out at Ambulatory Day Care located in the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care & Surgery Centre (9750 140 Street, Surrey, BC).

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is the treatment that involves use of chemical agents (drugs) to stop cancer cells from growing. Chemotherapy can eliminate cancer cells at sites great distances from the original cancer. As a result, chemotherapy is considered a systemic treatment.

In-hospital care

At some point in your treatment, you may have treatment that requires you to stay in hospital. In these cases, you will be admitted to a special unit for cancer patients at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Your cancer specialist will remain involved with your care while you are in hospital.
