Cancer treatment breakthroughs the result of fundraising research dollars
The BC Cancer Centre for the North in Prince George will celebrate its 10th anniversary later this month.
“I joined BC Cancer Foundation four years ago and that is the question I had as well,” said Khrod. “Now, after working in this field and talking to our BC Cancer experts, we’ve made major breakthroughs. Breast cancer, when we started 10 years ago, we had less than a 20 per cent survival rate. With all of the research we’ve done we now have an over 92 per cent survival rate with breast cancer. As a woman in her 40s that gives me hope that we’ve increased our breast cancer survival rate.
All of the money raised in Prince George will stay in northern B.C. Jason Fisher, a partner with MNP LLP’s consulting services, is representing Prince George on the Beyond Belief Campaign Cabinet. The foundation is also working to fund a fellowship training program at the Prince George clinic to try to attract young oncologists to the city who will help with clinical research to allow patients to receive their treatments without delay. Khrod says the hope is the fellowship doctors will stay to work permanently in the city.
