This is a remarkable time for cancer research. Thanks to gains in knowledge made by researchers here in Canada and around the world, we are already beginning to “make cancer history”.
Investing in the best research has led to tremendous progress against cancer. We know more about what causes cancer, how it develops, how best to treat it, and how we can improve the quality of life of cancer patients, survivors, families and caregivers. Today, 62% of people diagnosed with cancer survive their disease. In the 1960s, the survival rate was 1 in 3.
In 2009-2010, the Canadian Cancer Society is funding more than $48 million in leading-edge research projects across the country. As the largest national charitable funder of cancer research in Canada, we are leading the fight against cancer.
