The (CCS) has renewed its support of the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) based at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s with a five-year $30 million commitment. The funding represents a continuation of CCS카지노 게임 컬렉션s largest research investment, which began in 1980 when it helped to create the research group that became CCTG카지노 게임 컬렉션s national research network.

CCTG has supported more than 600 cancer clinical trials to test anti-cancer and supportive therapies worldwide, enrolling 100,000 patients from 40 countries. It has grown to become the largest research group at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, leading and supporting a global network of 20,000 investigators and clinical trial staff and collaborating with more than 85 hospitals and cancer centres across Canada. Research at CCTG continues to set new standards for cancer care that lead to significant innovations in treatments both in Canada and around the world.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The successful CCS grant renewal is a recognition of the exceptional caliber of our national scientific leaders, international research activities and the impact our trials have on new treatments for people with cancer,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Janet Dancey (Oncology), CCTG Director. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The funding will ensure that Canadian-led trials find answers to what is most important to Canadian patients and clinicians.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The Canadian Cancer Society is focused on supporting research in Canada that leads to tremendous progress against cancer 카지노 게임 컬렉션 from research expanding the fundamental knowledge of the biology of cancer, improving detection, diagnosis, and treatment, to helping Canadians cope with challenges during and post cancer treatment. To secure the continued funding, CCTG participated in a rigorous external review process that considered all aspects of the group카지노 게임 컬렉션s work and its impact on clinical trials research. With CCS카지노 게임 컬렉션s support, CCTG will advance its strategic objectives and ensure the continued development and execution of trials that improve lives globally.

From its home on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s campus, CCTG administers and supports between 60 and 70 clinical trials at any given time and will be expanding its leadership role in the area of immunotherapy. Active projects include with Annette Hay (Medicine) and Jonathan Bramson (McMaster 카지노게임사이트) focused on united Canadian researchers to leverage development of cell therapies and viable treatment options through planning cost-effective methods for the harvest, expansion, manipulation, purification, and delivery of the cells.

Through its Patient Representative Committee, CCTG commits to working in partnership with patients to improve cancer outcomes, ensuring patients카지노 게임 컬렉션 needs and priorities are considered in all trial designs and activities. For example, a recent CCTG trial published in 2021 was the first to show that stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is more effective in alleviating pain from spinal metastases than conventional radiation treatments with 35 per cent of patients reporting an enduring, complete control of pain at three months post-radiation. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션Access to clinical trials mean life. My family, friends and I are so thankful for the clinical trial I participated in, which kept me alive long enough for more life-extending treatments to be developed and become accessible. As a stage four lung cancer patient that trial has given me seven more years (and counting) to be mom to my three children,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Jill Hamer-Wilson, lung cancer patient advocate and CCTG Patient Representative.
