BC Cancer - Victoria
BC Cancer – Victoria is one of six regional cancer centres.
Patients have access to:
- world-class comprehensive cancer care and treatment close to home
- vital supportive care services ranging from genetic or nutrition counselling to spiritual guidance
Integrated Care and Research Pavilion
BC Cancer – Victoria is expanding its campus, a 12,000 square foot building just 250 metres from the existing facilities. The purchase and renovation of the building will be fully donor-funded – a first in BC Cancer Foundation history.
The new building will create a standalone space for the centre’s Supportive Care services – programs that help patients manage the adverse physical and psychological side effects of cancer.
World-Class Deeley Research Centre
Located in Victoria, the Deeley Research Centre (DRC) is one of the first sites in the world to pioneer an immunotherapy research program that uses genomic approaches to generate more precise and potent immune responses against cancer.
Immunotherapy Clinical Trials
Deeley Research Centre Director Dr. Brad Nelson and his team are joining forces with experts at BC Cancer’s Genome Sciences Centre in Vancouver to deliver truly personalized immunotherapy to patients in B.C.
Adoptive T Cell Therapy (ACT) is one of the most promising forms of immunotherapy. ACT clinical trials have the potential to save the lives of British Columbians facing all types of cancer.
