In 2015, the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Strategy was updated, adding specificity and
precision, and further integrating the activities of our research program. It included more detail
on the activities that help us make progress towards our strategic goals, and demonstrated the
momentum already gained in executing our strategic plan. The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre
Strategy 2013 -2018: World Class Personalized Cancer Medicine summarizes our goals across five
key strategic themes with a vision of
Global Impact as a Top 5 Comprehensive Cancer Centre in
the World.
Transform Patient Care
We will transform patient care by empowering
patients to become partners in their care.
Developing new models of inter-professional care,
offering support through all the aspects of cancer
care, and customizing support for unique and
vulnerable populations.
Augment Correlative Cancer Biology
We will understand cancer biology at the
molecular, cellular, and tumor levels, knowing that
this is critical to diagnosis, monitoring treatment
response, and developing new therapeutic
strategies that are safer and more effective.
Accelerate Guided Therapeutics
We will foster continuous innovation and evaluation of technologies, supported by a robust
foundation of informatics and quantification; enabling individualized cancer detection, diagnosis,
treatment, and support.
Expand Novel Therapeutics
We will provide patients with access to leading-edge treatments through research and
implementation of novel systemic therapeutics, incorporating molecular imaging and genomic
signatures, and improving outcomes for cancer patients globally.
Drive Outreach and Education
We will strengthen our impact and reputation by contributing to our communities, improving care
and research, and exchanging knowledge through education and outreach, as well
as through global and local collaborations and partnerships.
