Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board says there are no firm proposals at this stage
North Wales health chiefs are looking at the future of the Alaw cancer unit in Ysbyty Gwynedd as part of a wider review.
The Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board is already reviewing maternity and child health care.
Cancer services are now being examined, but the board says at at this stage there are no firm proposals.
Board members will meet on Wednesday to look at possible changes in the service due to "pressures on public finances".
A spokesperson said the trust wanted to continue to provide safe and effective care for patients.
The cancer and haematology service in the Alaw Unit is one of the many options being discussed with staff, he added.
Carol Williams, a deputy chief officer with the Betsi Cadawaldr Community Health Council - an independent statutory organisation which represents the interests of patients and the public in the National Health Service in North Wales - said it was a concern because the public needed to be informed of "every discussion and at every stage".
She added that the health board needed to do more than simply talk to their staff about possible changes to services, but also needed to communicate with the public.
Wednesday's health board meeting - which is open to the public - will be held at 1400 BST in the Migneint Room, Glasdir, Plas y Dref, Llanrwst.
