Canada’s research community working together to answer questions about the development of cancer, heart disease and other chronic diseases
Canadian Partnership Against Cancer partners with Genome Canada and Canadian Institutes of Health Research
Canada’s research community will have the opportunity to draw upon and contribute to the country’s largest database of population health research as part of a new collaboration between the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (the Partnership), Genome Canada and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
The collaboration is specific to Genome Canada and CIHR’s Genomics and Personalized Health competition. Research teams that are successful in this competition may have the option to access and use data from across Canada through the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project (CPTP), which is funded by the Partnership. In addition, cardiovascular-oriented research projects applying through the competition may qualify for shared funding from the Partnership.…
From best evidence to best practice
Capacity Enhancement Program offers one-stop shop of tools to help cancer guideline developers across the country
The World Health Organization proposes that a third of all cancer cases could be prevented, another third cured, and the rest effectively managed if care consistently complied with existing evidence-based strategies.1,2
This bold vision for standardized care is centred on the systematic development of cancer control guidelines and their effective implementation throughout clinical practice. Now, thanks to a comprehensive set of guideline development resources at www.cancerview.ca/guidelines, the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer is supporting this effort on a national scale.…

Now 150,000+ people strong, the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project enables Canadians to contribute to major research
TORONTO, March 8, 2012 – Canada has a great history of health pioneers: people like Frederick Banting who discovered insulin or Norman Bethune who developed the first mobile blood transfusion service set impressive examples. Improving the health of future generations is a possibility for ordinary Canadians too – and more than 150,000 of them are already doing so through the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project. This long-term population health study will help researchers better understand the causes of cancer and other chronic diseases, and it is continuing to enlist Canadians’ help in many parts of the country. …
Maximizing the impact of cancer care by supporting informed decisions on cancer interventions
New Cancer Risk Management Model uses web-based technology to project results
If each Canadian province and territory could lower its population’s smoking rate to below 20 per cent, what might be the impact on the incidence of lung cancer across the country? How much might potential treatment and associated economic costs of lung cancer go down? How do we compare the projected results of a dollar invested in smoking cessation with the results of a dollar invested in a new cancer therapy? …

The Partnership is pleased to have been instrumental in working with the CN Tower to light up a favourite Canadian landmark to recognize and support an important day for international cancer control: World Cancer Day. On February 4, the CN Tower in Toronto was lit in blue and orange to mark this day and raise awareness of how Canada is helping to reduce the burden of cancer. World Cancer Day is observed annually by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and 400 member organizations worldwide including the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. Canadians can show their support for the day by signing the World Cancer Declaration. The UICC’s World Cancer Congress comes to Canada for the first time in August 2012 in Montreal.…
