The Terry Fox Translational Research Program Accelerates the Development of New Treatments and Technologies for Children With Blood Cancer
The CYP-C surveillance system is fully funded by PHAC through the C17 Council (Canadian Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario). CYP-C data are provided by the participating sites: Alberta Children’s Hospital, Allan Blair Cancer Centre, British Columbia Children’s Hospital, CancerCare Manitoba, Izaak Walton Killam Health and Rehabilitation Centre and the Hospital for Sick Kids.
Treatment
Researching and developing new treatment options for patients with blood cancers requires a collaborative effort. Researchers, governments, payers, and most importantly, patients, all must be involved in research studies. It requires an openness to explore science beyond what is currently known and explore all scientific possibilities.
We are committed to staying at the top of the game and we have several innovative projects in the works. Our clinical development of a novel way to treat blood cancer, also known as leukemia, in which we reprogram the patient’s cells to recognize and fight against the disease, has taken us in a totally new direction.
The results of our work make a significant impact on our patients. Among the most promising findings, we have observed that overall survival is improving over time. The chance of relapses occurring within five years of diagnosis is also decreasing.
We would like to thank the families, patients and doctors who have generously provided information to this surveillance. This information aids in reducing the burden of childhood cancer in Canada. We also acknowledge the contributions of the provincial and territorial cancer registries and Statistics Canada in providing the Canadian pacific pulmonary Fibrosis Cancer Registry (CCR) information. This study was funded by Public Health Agency of Canada and the C17 Council.
Research
The Terry Fox Translational Research Program assists with pan-Canadian projects that accelerate the development of new treatments and techniques for patients with blood cancer. These projects aim to develop or Canadian Pacific Pulmonary Fibrosis test new strategies for early diagnosis and treatment, as in addition to improve outcomes for children with Cancer.
The CYP-C surveillance system is funded by PHAC and is managed jointly by a consortium of seventeen pediatric oncology centres: Alberta Children’s Hospital, Allan Blair Cancer Centre, British Columbia Children’s Hospital, CancerCare Manitoba, Children’s Health and Research Institute of Ontario (CHRI), Izaak Walton Killam Health Sciences Centre, Janeway Children’s Health and Rehabilitation Centre, Kingston General Hospital, McMaster University, Montreal Children’s Hospital, Saskatoon Cancer Centre and The Hospital for Sick Children. Each of the contributing centres extracted the case-level information of all children diagnosed with childhood cancer using an established data entry form and then uploaded it to a central database supervised by Kite Pharma.
Jacquie Baker PhD is studying a novel therapy for orthostatic hypotension (OH) which is which is a condition that causes blood pressure to plummet when a patient stands up, leading to light-headedness, dizziness and nausea. OH is the most frequent cause of fainting in older adults and is life-threatening.
Support
To empower patients and families impacted by myeloma through participation in the community, awareness-building and advocacy, fostering an empowered myeloma group and supporting clinical research to find an effective cure.
To ensure a steady supply of blood and other blood products for all Canadians by investing in a national, collaborative, research, education and empowering community programs.
Organises blood drives and provides financial aid for children who are diagnosed with cancer. Also, they offer a special SuperSibs program for siblings that assists in comforting, encouraging and help siblings of children with cancer.
Provides information and referrals to health and human services across Canada. Also, they have the ability to search a database of community resources. Also operates a hotline which helps people find help in their area. Children suffering from life-threatening illnesses can be granted their wishes to give them strength, hope and joy.
