What is Stand Up To Cancer Canada?
For too long, cancer has been the leading cause of death in Canada. It’s time to stop cancer in its tracks. Stand Up To Cancer Canada (SU2C Canada), a program of SU2C Canada, aims to build broad support for a groundbreaking “translational” research model that can produce meaningful advances in cancer treatment. With the goal of accelerating the pace at which new therapies get to patients, SU2C Canada will enable leading scientists in different disciplines from multiple institutions to work together.
Stand Up To Cancer Canada Dream Teams bring together a group of outstanding laboratory researchers, clinical experts, and breast cancer patient advocates from across Canada. The SU2C Canada-CBCF Breast Cancer Dream Team is the first to be announced since SU2C Canada was launched in 2014.
