RESEARCH

OUR COMMITMENT TO RESEARCH

One of the three pillars of Bladder Cancer Canada’s (BCC) mission is to “fund research which pursues the diagnosis, treatment and elimination of bladder cancer.” Although bladder cancer is the 5th most common cancer in Canada, it ranks only 21st in research out of the 24 most common cancers. Our research commitments endeavour to minimize that disparity, with the long-term vision to create a world where bladder cancer is just a memory.

OUR RESEARCH FUNDING

In 2019, Bladder Cancer Canada (BCC) funded over $275,000 in bladder cancer research. Since BCC supported its very first $25,000 grant in 2012, we have funded over $1.1 million in research, with an additional $434,500 in matched funds for a total of more than $1.5 million dollars. By the end of 2020, we expect to have funded nearly $1.9 million dollars in bladder cancer research. This incredible milestone has been made possible because of BCC’s supportive donors and valued research funding partners.

QUALITY OF CARE MEETING

Three Organizations Partner For Success

On November 11, 2016, BCC representatives, Ken Bagshaw, David Guttman and Stephen Wilson, as patient advocates, attended a day-long meeting in Toronto co-funded by BCC and the Canadian Urologic Oncology Group, with organizational support donated by the Canadian Urological Association. The meeting brought together leading urologic oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and a GU pathologist (shown right) from across Canada to discuss and formulate quality indicators in the diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of bladder cancer in pursuit of enhanced care and treatment of bladder cancer patients. This discussion builds on the White Paper published by CUA in December 2015, setting out recommendations which the same group of medical professionals developed in the first Quality of Care meeting held in November 2014.

A follow-up meeting is planned for 2018.
