CancerCare is the leading provider of integrated oncology care in the Western and Eastern Cape. The company is widely regarded as a pioneer in the field of cancer care and management in South Africa.

Since Cancercare was founded 1989 change has happened on a holistic level across all levels of cancer care. Things that were once deemed impossible have become possible and countless lives have been saved through improvements in cancer medication and treatments. It is encouraging to see how the cure rates for all cancers are improving every year. This is mainly due to the combined efforts of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Early diagnoses and treatment remain paramount to the successful outcome, which is best achieved in comprehensive cancer care facilities such as the ones you find at Cancercare.

To stay at the forefront of the cancer care industry, we are constantly changing and adapting to our environment, learning from our partners and tapping into the world of technology to improve our processes, treatments and service offering to our patients.
