May is Cancer Research Month
Terry Fox believed research could save lives.
That’s why TFRI provides funding to world-class cancer research and initiatives like the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network and the Digital Health & Discovery Platform.
Research informs care—and care informs research
Over the last 5 years, MOHCCN-funded projects have brought precision oncology and new hope to patients nationwide. The lessons learned along the way are informing care for the future, creating a virtuous cycle of growth.
