Only 2 of 8 categories could be assessed from the research inventories, below the five-category minimum for a grade. The mean of the assessed categories (1.0) is shown for transparency only. Missing evidence is never scored as zero.

How Nunavut scored, category by category

1 · Strategy & pancreatic focus

0 / 4

Nunavut has "no standalone cancer agency"; care runs by referral to southern tertiary centres, with management via referral pathways.

2 · Biomarker & genetic testing

Not assessable

Not obtainable: the biomarker policy database has no entries for Nunavut.

3 · Drug coverage & patient costs

Not assessable

Not obtainable: not covered in the corpus.

4 · Clinical trials access

Not assessable

Not obtainable: not covered in the corpus.

5 · Timely care — waits & surgical capacity

Not assessable

Not obtainable: not covered in the corpus beyond the referral posture recorded under Category 1.

6 · Travel & transport support

2 / 4

Patient travel support programs "are significant line items" in Nunavut — a funded territorial travel program of significant budget scale. Not obtainable: the program's terms (lodging, prepayment, eligibility) are not in the corpus; placed at band 2 as the least-claim fit (see methodology flags).

7 · Workforce, navigation & support

Not assessable

Not obtainable: not covered in the corpus.

8 · Research funding & representation

Not assessable

Not obtainable: the findings publish institution-level CIHR register counts only for the concentration institutions and the Atlantic provinces; Nunavut's register presence cannot be determined from them.
