Le Dr Uri Tabori dirigera une équipe chargée de mettre au point une nouvelle approche thérapeutique appelée « interception du cancer », qui vise à détecter et à éliminer les tumeurs cérébrales à haut risque (gliomes) chez les enfants.

Les docteurs David Huntsman et Torsten Nielsen ont pour objectif d'étudier six types de sarcomes infantiles afin d'améliorer la survie et la qualité de vie après le traitement.

Le Dr Michele Ardolino et son équipe étudieront comment renforcer l'ensemble de l'organisme afin d'éliminer le cancer grâce à des traitements plus personnalisés.

Le Dr Peter Black et son équipe développent des outils permettant de mesurer en temps réel la réponse d'un patient à un traitement.

Dr. Uri Tabori will lead a team developing a new treatment approach called “cancer interception,” aiming to detect and eliminate high-risk brain tumours (gliomas) in children.

Drs. David Huntsman and Torsten Nielsen aim to study six childhood sarcomas to improve survival and life after treatment.

Dr. Michele Ardolino’s and his team will explore how the entire body can be empowered to eliminate cancer through more personalized therapies.

Dr. Peter Black and his team are developing tools to measure how a patient is responding to therapy in real time.

"World class oncologists such as Dr. Simron Singh and NET patient advocates such as Sonya Carrie have given our growing team leadership and purpose. Today is a special occasion to remind us why we do NET research and how important teamwork is." - Drs. Hon Leong and Benjamin Lok.

“Our goal is to do for these sarcomas what’s already been done for osteosarcoma,” says Dr. Nielsen, who was inspired to become a researcher because of Terry Fox and has been supported by Terry Fox funding since the beginning of his career.

“It took decades, but survival rates for osteosarcoma have improved dramatically. Now, we’re working to bring that same progress to other sarcomas – again and again - and to train the next generation who can keep pushing that work forward,” says Dr. Nielsen.
