Cancer Control in New Zealand

Cancer Treatment


Surgery, radiation treatment and chemotherapy are the main methods of treatment of cancer. In New Zealand six regional oncology centres provide medical oncology, radiation oncology and haematology services.

These centres are in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. Although radiation treatment is only offered at these six centres, chemotherapy and surgical services are offered in most hospitals.

More information on cancer treatment is provided below:

  • Radiation treatment - including treatment waiting times data and booking priorities and procedures
