Patient Referral

Ask to page:

• The "on-call general surgery resident" for urgent Surgical Oncology referrals
• The "on-call medical physician" for urgent Medical Oncology referrals
• The "on-call radiation physician" for urgent Radiation Oncology referrals

If you do not know which physician to refer your patient to, please indicate "next available" and you will be directed to the correct physician.

You must make direct contact with the on-call resident or physician to complete an urgent referral.

Include the following documents:

• Clinical notes
• Tests, x-rays and any other relevant results, including completed breast biopsy reports and any prior oncology treatments

Fax the complete referral package to the fax number provided on the referral form. Some physicians' offices will send you a confirmation of receipt.

• For referral to a breast medical and/or radiation oncologist: Fax referrals to 416 946 2900.
• For referral to a breast surgical oncologist: Fax referrals to 416 946 4429.

The form will be reviewed to ensure that it is complete; if incomplete, it will be returned to you. On this page: Checklist for complete referral

The surgeon or physician's office will call you with information about the patient's first appointment.

Your office is responsible for providing the patient with appointment information, such as time and location, and important documents, test results and imaging that they must bring.
