as we celebrate #PrecisionMedicineAwarenessMonth, the cancer collaborative (colab) le collaboratoire cancer is inspired by the work of organizations like CCRAN (Colorectal Cancer Resource & Action Network) in driving transformative advancements in cancer care. Their focus on advanced biomarker testing highlights its pivotal role in improving outcomes and shaping a more efficient healthcare system. In this spirit, they have prepared a wonderful resource for us to share during #PMAM available at knowyourgenome.co KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM CCRAN's efforts include ✅ Driving Collaboration Through Education CCRAN’s Biomarkers Conference brings together patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to discuss the importance of timely testing and its impact on patient outcomes. Planning is underway for the 2025 Biomarkers Conference, continuing this essential dialogue. ✅ Economic and Policy Advocacy In collaboration with the Conference Board of Canada, CCRAN is leading a study to evaluate the cost-benefit of CGP across Canada’s top cancer types. This research will provide evidence to drive policy changes that support equitable access to these groundbreaking technologies. read more at knowyourgenome.co

Throughout #KNOWvember we are highlighting stories of people with lived experience, clinicians and advocates - this week we're highlighting Gordon Levine's experience highlighting how a precision guided approach allowed his medical team to tailor a strategy based on his cancer's unique genetic profile, but also the significant gaps in Canada’s healthcare system #PRECISIONMEDICINE #KNOWvember #PMAM #genomicprofiling
🌟 Meet Gordon – A Survivor and Advocate for Precision Medicine 🌟 Gordon’s story is one of resilience and the transformative power of #precisionmedicine. Facing a terminal cancer, sequencing changed everything. Initially, Gordon was not considered an ideal candidate for PD-L1 therapy, but his genetic profile told a different story. With this new insight, his doctors enrolled him in a clinical trial that has turned his health around. Today, Gordon is thriving and dedicates his time to advocacy, sharing his experience to raise awareness about the life-saving potential of precision medicine. His journey reminds us that precision medicine can unlock new possibilities and bring hope where there was none. ✨ Do you have a story to share? ✨ This #KNOWvember during Precision Medicine Awareness Month #PMAM join us in highlighting the stories of survivors like Gordon, leaders like Catalina Lopez-Correa and advocates like CCRAN ! email knowvember@cancercolab.ca or use #KNOWVember #PMAM

It’s like curating a personalized playlist instead of relying on a generic radio station, allowing healthcare providers to fine-tune the treatment plan based on what resonates best with each individual patient. By understanding what makes each tumour tick, doctors can select treatments that not only enhance the chances of success but also spare patients from unnecessary side effects. This shift redefines how we approach cancer care and empowers patients, turning the treatment journey into a collaborative and informed process. https://lnkd.in/gU_Tn_AN

what a week ! what a #KNOWvember so far we are so grateful to everyone who is helping us make this such a wonderful success !!
this week was so great - I don't even know where to start ! we are midway through #PRECISIONMEDICINEAWARENESSMONTH #PMAM here is a quick recap of what's happened so far ! 💬 multi stakeholder dialogues and webinars we engaged in powerful conversations with patients and healthcare providers - firstly on the Canadian Biomarker Quality Assurance (CBQA) program webinar, "Precision Oncology Diagnostics - Who Pays?", raising critical questions about reimbursement pathways with Carol C. and @shaqil kassam. Arif Ali Awan spoke to the fundamentals of precision medicine, creating an understanding of how personalized treatments are changing patient outcomes Carol C. gave a clear and impactful explanation of biomarkers and DNA - helping us understand these vital indicators that drive targeted treatment strategies. Alexandra T. Greenhill, MD shared fascinating insights on the role of artificial intelligence in precision medicine, discussing how AI can revolutionize data interpretation, streamline patient care, and enhance decision-making processes. and Ashley Girgis, MHI and Natalie Szudy from The Terry Fox Research Institute's Digital Health and Discovery Platform (DHDP) talked to us about the work they are doing on this exciting made in canada 🇨🇦 initiative that enables secure data sharing and facilitates AI-driven advancements in precision medicine. 🎙️ personal experiences and podcasts this week, i also spoke with Robby Spring Yuan Lew Gordon Levine - absolutely MUST LISTEN ! individuals who have transformed their personal cancer journeys into a mission for systemic change. through their advocacy, they’re challenging barriers, sharing their lived experiences, and driving the push for a more inclusive and accessible cancer care system in canada. their stories have also been highlighted during PMAM !
