Diagnosis
The Lung Diagnostic Assessment Program (LDAP) is also available in Brantford through the Cancer Clinic. This is a regional program that serves the areas of Haldimand, Brantford, Hamilton and Niagara. The program was developed by Cancer Care Ontario to provide coordinated care and support during the time when a patient is being suspected of having cancer. All family physicians, specialists and primary health care providers may refer patients to the program. Brantford's DAP is specific to lung cancer.
Three main goals of DAP
- Provide timely and equal access to care
- Early detection and treatment of lung problems
- Coordinate care as close to home as possible
The nurse navigator works with the thoracic surgeons and helps to facilitate referrals so that a diagnosis and treatment plan can be determined as quickly as possible. The nurse navigator is available to answer your questions and provide you with information and support during this time. To contact the nurse navigator, phone 519-751-5544 ext. 4255
Brantford has four thoracic surgeons from Hamilton Health Sciences available onsite once a week to run the clinic.
DAP is located in the D-wing of Brantford General Hospital in the Cancer Clinic. When you arrive, please register at the Cancer Clinic reception desk.
