Target Wait Times for Cancer Surgery in Ontario

Guideline Objectives

As part of Ontario’s Wait Time Strategy, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care asked for the development of prioritization tools and benchmarks. Specifically, the Ministry asked Cancer Care Ontario to identify wait time targets for cancer surgery. Cancer Care Ontario’s Surgical Access to Care and Wait Times Subcommittee worked with the Program in Evidence-based Care and a panel of experts to develop the targets.
