We perform most major cancer operations at Vancouver General Hospital. After surgery, patients recover on the inpatient wards of VGH. Tests such as CT scans, MRIs, ultrasound, xrays, and blood tests are done here. The Emergency Department is used for patients requiring urgent assessment and/or admission to hospital.
