WHY are we

optimistic about

the future of

cancer care?

“Though our

work is far from

over, we remain

optimistic

because we

have the

expertise to lay

the groundwork

for important

progress in the

years ahead.”

A message from

Dr. Bradly Wouters and

Dr. Mary Gospodarowicz

T

hanks to extraordinary advances we

have made across the spectrum of

cancer research, patient care and

education, there are many reasons to be

optimistic. Quality of life has improved

substantially thanks to the increasing

preservation of healthy tissue through

targeted treatments, as well as survivorship

programs and unprecedented forays into

interdisciplinary psychosocial research.

We are optimistic because, at the frontiers

of cancer research, we are seeing significant

change.

At Princess Margaret Cancer Centre,

breakthrough discovery and compassionate

care go hand-in-hand. Our clinician scientists

provide valuable clinical insights to our

researchers, who then witness the impact of

their research discoveries on patient care. It

is this union between research and clinical

care that makes us one of the top 5 cancer

research centres in the world.

Because of this unique environment,

The Princess Margaret continues to attract and

retain outstanding talent from other leading

cancer institutions around the globe. By

facilitating the transfer of knowledge within

The Princess Margaret and on a global basis,

we help ensure the highest standards of care

are available to the widest range of patients.
