Tumour biology and imaging
Getting the complete picture of cancer
Cancers differ from one person to another, and even
cancer cells within a single tumour can behave differently
from each other. Using innovative imaging technologies
to better understand tumour biology and the complete
environment of individual cancers, researchers at The
Princess Margaret are developing therapies to effectively
treat all cells within a tumour.
Cancer genomics, epigenetics
and bioinformatics
Breaking the code of cancer
Every patient has a unique combination of genetic mutations
which determine how their tumours localize, grow and
respond to therapy. By understanding the role of genes in
driving the development of tumours, our clinicians can better
predict tumour behaviour, and select individualized therapies
that will be best suited to each patient’s genetic makeup.
Bio discovery and drug
development
Digging deeper
Our world-class clinicians and researchers at The Princess
Margaret are developing ways to understand each
patient’s cancer at its origins. Not only will this help us
understand why patient outcomes can be so different,
but it will also lead us to new drugs that target and
optimally address each patient’s specific condition.
