Your support helps fuel research discoveries. But there is still so much more that needs to be done.
Thanks to the support of generous donors, we have made significant progress in many areas of cancer research - research that will save lives. But there are still some cancers which are shrouded in mystery, and are heavily under-funded relative to their impact.
Discoveries that are providing hope...
These are just a few examples of ground-breaking discoveries made possible by donor support.
With more funding, research can uncover better tools for earlier detection and new treatment options, leading to new hope for patients and their families.
And where more work needs to be done...
Some of the least understood cancers are also some of the deadliest ones. BC Cancer Agency initiatives include under-funded areas of cancer research. Because we know that funding can lead to discoveries.
We know this because we've seen research breakthroughs in other areas - breast cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma - that have changed how we think about these cancers and how we treat them.
