Blood test to reveal which prostate cancer patients will respond well to treatment

In the not too distant future, a simple blood test established by BC Cancer’s Dr. Kim Chi and Dr. Alex Wyatt will help identify a group of prostate cancer patients most likely to benefit from a new, Health Canada approved treatment and may even detect if their cancer is a result of an inherited genetic abnormality, which could have implications on cancer risk for their children.

A special bond

“I remember feeling so much relief when I found someone close to my age going through the same thing.”

Lillian and Melissa formed a close friendship after being diagnosed with breast cancer just two months apart.

Prestigious honour

Dr. Joseph Connors, BC Cancer clinician scientist, was appointed to the Order of Canada, one of the country's highest civilian honours given to Canadians who have enriched the lives of others and made extraordinary contributions to the nation.
