The Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke, the CHUSS du CIUSSS de l’Estrie-CHUS, was designated as the reference centre for treating lung cancer. It is also in the process of becoming a reference for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

For its part, the CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre/Hôpital Charles-Lemoyne was recognized as an affiliated centre for treating these types of cancer.

The reference centre (Sherbrooke) and its affiliated centre will therefore collaborate to develop their expertise and provide state-of-the-art care to their patients. This also means patients will be treated in either of these two centres.
