Websites

Google and other search engines show you millions of results and it can be tiring and overwhelming to sift through the results! For quick access to credible websites on types of cancer or support topics, see our BC Cancer Library resources below. 

BC Cancer Library Pathfinders for Patients

Pathfinders are curated lists of some of our books, pamphlets, support services, trusted websites, and other resources on a specific type of cancer or support topic for patients.



 The BC Cancer library system consists of a central library at Vancouver Centre (VC), and branches in Abbotsford (AC), Kelowna (SAHCSI), Prince George (CN), Surrey (FVC), and Victoria (VIC). All centres have patient resource collections in our Cancer Information Centres (CIC), and all centres have a professional collection on site. Professional resources for CN are housed in the adjacent UHNBC Library.
