Research Activities
The Gynecological
Oncology Unit at the McGill University Health Centre is involved
both in fundamental (basic) and clinical research to improve the
care of women with gynecological cancer.
The research
activities are targeted towards multiple levels: cancer
prevention, improvement of treatment outcome, and better control
of treatment side effects.
Patients seen in our
clinics have the opportunity to participate in clinical trials,
when judged appropriate. For further information, please visit

multidisciplinary team is affiliated with the National Cancer
Institute of Canada (NCIC), with the Radiation Therapy
