Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Program (SMRCP)

Diagnostic Assessment Programs (DAPs)

Diagnostic Assessment Programs are specific to a particular type of suspected cancer. Once referred into a DAP, patients have access to a multidisciplinary care team and aim to provide a single point of contact for diagnostic services, streamlined coordination of diagnostic tests, streamlined consults, and support for patients throughout the diagnostic process.
