The exomes/genomes of a few hundred kidney, bladder, and prostate tumours have been sequenced. This sequencing has unveiled new genes that are altered and new opportunities for tumour subclassification, prediction of outcome, and therapy. These opportunities will soon become realities.

APCaRI at the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer for second year

Well, we did it again!  Several APCaRI members participated in a 2-day major cycling event called the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation. We cycled 228 kms over 2 days along the majestic Rockies with thousands of other Riders, supported by an amazing team of volunteers. Riding along with over 50 members of the Cross Cancer Institute Team, and 1402 riders in total, it was an epic experience!
Most importantly, we raised $6.35M to support cutting edge cancer research in Alberta. We are very thankful for the support we received, which will help us to beat prostate cancer.

If you didn’t get a chance to support one of our riders, please consider contributing to the team’s efforts at our DONATE page.
