About 30,000 people in NSW will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Many people will be cured but the diagnosis is still very frightening.
You may have been just diagnosed with cancer or be well into your treatment, or you may be the carer of a family member or friend of a person with cancer.
At the Sydney Cancer Centre, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, we deliver to our patients and those who care for them innovative, effective and compassionate cancer care and support, according to the best research evidence. This is achieved through the development of a coordinated, multidisciplinary team of highly talented and motivated people working in clinical care, research, education and psycho-oncology.
Palliative care services are provided at RPA, Concord and Canterbury hospitals.
Our patients and their families and carers also benefit from our comprehensive cancer support program.
The following pages provide information on the range of services available at the Sydney Cancer Centre as well as practical things like finding us and accessing information about cancer. We hope that you find what you need.
Please contact the Sydney Cancer Centre Info-Line if you require more information.
