Fast Track Cancer Care Research & Navigation Session
Same-day access to CTOAM's cancer care research and navigation team. Whether your questions involve published research on biomarkers, categories of molecular testing, public clinical-trial listings, supplements, nutrition, or simply understanding what to ask next — bring your questions and we'll help you get organized and prepared for the conversations with your own physicians.
- 45-minute virtual session — 15 minutes of introductions, then 30 minutes of focused research and navigation conversation with CTOAM's cancer care research & navigation team
- Recording & written transcript — revisit the conversation, or share it with family and your own physicians
- Educational resources — general, published materials and information relevant to your questions
- Bring your questions — no records review required beforehand
Same-day appointments are often available. Many clients don't want to wait weeks before getting their questions organized. When it comes to cancer, time matters.
The goal is not to replace your physician — it's to help you understand the published research and organize the important questions before you meet with your own care team, so you can be a more informed participant in your care. This session is for educational, informational, and research purposes only. It is not a medical consultation, not a second opinion, and not medical advice.

Why clients choose to speak with Alexander Rolland
For more than 15 years, Alexander Rolland has researched precision cancer medicine, molecular profiling, biomarkers, genomics, transcriptomics, cancer biology, and personalized cancer research.
Unlike many who work exclusively in research review or literature analysis, Alex's experience includes the development and validation of molecular testing technologies. His work has contributed to research programs presented through accepted poster presentations at major international scientific meetings, including ASCO and ESMO.
This combination of laboratory experience, molecular test development, biomarker research, and client-facing navigation work gives a unique perspective on the rapidly evolving field of precision cancer medicine — and helps clients identify the questions that may be worth asking their own physicians next.
Alex's perspective is also informed by personal experience with a cancer diagnosis. Having faced many of the same questions and decisions, he understands that behind every report, biomarker, and research paper is a person trying to make the best decisions possible with the information available.

Maryem Khan
Clinical Integration Specialist
Holds a medical degree earned outside Canada and brings that background to her navigation and coordination work. She is not practising medicine at CTOAM — her role is to help clients and families get organized, understand published information, and feel prepared for their next steps.
Our role is not to diagnose, prescribe, interpret your results, or replace your healthcare team — it's to help you better understand the published science and research, get organized, and prepare the questions that may be relevant to discuss with your own physicians.
What our clients say
"We had a great meeting. I left with a much clearer understanding of my situation and the questions I wanted to explore with my own care team. I felt organized and prepared, and the conversation was genuinely helpful."
"The team was responsive and took time with every one of my questions. I came in overwhelmed and left feeling organized, with a clear list of things to bring to my doctors."
"There are two main reasons I chose CTOAM. They're both 's' words: Science and Support."

Meet our research & navigation team
A focused 45-minute conversation — 15 minutes of introductions, then 30 minutes on your most important questions.
Receive your resources
Recording, written transcript, and relevant general educational materials.
What to bring: no records review is required — just your most important questions, and any reports you'd like to discuss (pathology, molecular testing, imaging, bloodwork). Don't worry if you don't have everything; many people book specifically to figure out what to gather next.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a medical consultation or second opinion?
Will you tell me what treatment I should choose?
Can you help me learn about molecular testing?
Do I need any scientific background to benefit?
Why book if I already have an oncologist?
Do I need to send records beforehand?
How quickly can I book, and does my cancer type or stage matter?
Need more than a Fast Track Session?
For more complex situations or significant decisions, our Precision Second Opinion adds case preparation, medical-record organization, and a private review delivered directly by a registered medical Oncologist (about one week from intake).
