Kidney Cancer Canada makes every effort to stay informed about Patient Assistance Programs that may help patients access medications. In addition to the information provided here, you may find it helpful to speak with an Oncology Social Worker at your hospital or treatment centre, as there may be other financial assistance programs available to you. These Patient Assistance Programs are designed to help you access public or private insurance coverage as available to you. Patients are encouraged to call these programs to determine what help may be available in each specific situation and province or territory.
