Cancer Prevention
The Division of
Cancer
Prevention of McGill Department of Oncology was created in 2002. It is a multidisciplinary program that encompasses the clinical, research and
academic work in cancer prevention at McGill. In close collaboration with the
programs in Cancer Epidemiology and Cancer Genetics, the Cancer Prevention
Program focuses on integrating the clinical and research interests related to
cancer prevention, and fostering academic work in the field. Cancer Prevention
features a multidisciplinary group of researchers and clinical specialists
engaged in major laboratory and epidemiological programs of investigation, who
are committed to improving our understanding of cancer risk, and ultimately
preventing cancer.Researchers also
network extensively with colleagues at other major cancer centres, including
Harvard University, the MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Fred Hutchison Cancer
Center.
Clinical programs are based at the
Stroll
Family Cancer Prevention Centre at the Jewish General Hospital. The Centre
is the first clinical space in Montréal dedicated to providing specialized,
up-to-date information and resources to the public, while advancing clinical and
research efforts in prevention. With affiliated experts in all of the major
medical and surgical disciplines, the Centre offers the public practical
medical, lifestyle, dietary and screening advice in the form of small group
sessions, one-on-one genetic counselling and risk assessment services, and
public lectures. The Centre also coordinates the activities of the cancer
geneticists at the Jewish General Hospital.
