About this site and how we make it

protontherapy.ca is an information resource. It does not form its own medical opinions and does not recommend any treatment. It uses only official sources (provincial and federal health bodies, government assessments), peer-reviewed publications, and information published by the treatment centres themselves. Every page lists the sources it uses, with links and dates. Who operates the site, and why the service is free to you, is explained on About us and how we work.

This page explains how content is made, how sources are recorded, and how to tell us if something is wrong.

How content is written

Our content is written for patients and families reading at a hard moment. We use plain words first, explain a technical term once and then use the plain term, and aim for an easy reading level. We always explain public funding before self-pay, we never promise that a treatment or an application will succeed, and we never use urgency or fear.

How content is verified

Because this site produces no medical opinions of its own, accuracy rests on source discipline. Every factual claim about a process, a rule, a number, or a date is tied to a primary source and the date we checked it. Every page carries a Last updated date.

How we record sources

Every content page ends with a “Sources for this page” block. Our primary sources are the plan’s own page or document, a government or accreditation body, or a peer-reviewed publication.

Where we cannot verify a detail from a primary source, we say so on the page and tell you to confirm it directly with the plan or centre. We do not carry one province’s rule over to another; each guide is checked against its own sources.

How we handle corrections

If you find something wrong or out of date, tell us through the contact page, describing the page and the issue. Corrections are taken seriously, because people make decisions based on this content. When we correct a page, we refresh its Last updated date.

Update cadence

We review content at least every six months. Pages whose rules can change, such as the provincial funding guides, are checked more often, and we update immediately when we learn of a change. Every page shows its own Last updated date.
