Congratulations to all of the recipients of this year’s CCRA Awards - including two researchers with a Canadian Cancer Society connection. 🎉 #CCRC2025

We’ve arrived at #CCRC2025! First up - our Cancer Prevention Research Network event where we explore how we can modernize and improve access to information about cancer related clinical trials in Canada. @ccralliance.bsky.social

Today, we’re celebrating a landmark research breakthrough that has saved countless lives. Sixty years ago, in 1965, Dr Phil Gold and Dr Samuel Freedman of McGill University made a game-changing discovery – they found a tumour marker in human blood.

⏳ Only 3 days until #CCRC2025 begins! We can’t wait to gather in Calgary with researchers, clinicians, trainees, and patient partners from across the country. Let the countdown to connection and collaboration begin! #CancerResearch #ConferenceSeason #HealthEquity #PatientEngagement

Today, @cancersociety.bsky.social EVP of Mission, Research and Advocacy Dr. Stuart Edmonds spoke at @coloncanada.bsky.social conference on the importance of building an equitable and accessible clinical trials system in Canada. CCS is proud to see Dr. Edmonds leading this important conversation!

While at Queen’s Park, @cancersociety.bsky.social CEO Andrea Seale shared how affordability means something different when it’s about your health. Last year alone, patients and caregivers shouldered $7.5 billion in costs—delaying or going without care because they couldn’t afford it.

NEW FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: We’re excited to announce brand-new funding for UK-Canada #research teams working in #cancer prevention! @cancersociety.bsky.social and @cancerresearchuk.org have partnered to support collaborative transatlantic research through our Biology to Prevention Award.

🏒💗 Erica Howe, former pro hockey goalie for the Toronto Sceptres, never imagined she'd be facing breast cancer in her 30s. What started as a lump she hesitated to check turned into a diagnosis of stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma.
