    $150,000

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $75,000

Project Overview

Need for project: The rate of success of a given treatment for brain cancer is dependent on early diagnosis followed by qualification for surgery, which to date remains as the course of treatment with the highest survival rate for brain cancer patients. In this regard, a fast and reliable population…

Project Overview

Need for project: Glioblastoma (GBM) is an incurable brain cancer that changes rapidly confounding standard diagnostic and therapeutic methods. These changes in molecular composition can be captured by bits of cancer cells known as extracellular vesicles (EVs) found in blood of patients (liquid biopsy), but it is very difficult to…

Project Overview

Need for project: Treatment of brain metastases (BrM) includes a combination of surgery and radiation therapy (RT). Recurrence after treatment is a problem that limits survival and quality of life. Our team has discovered that highly invasive growth of BrM is associated with recurrence and sensitivity to particular systemic treatments.…
