Donor-funded research bringing new treatments, clinical trials and better care to Northeastern Ontario

More patients across Northeastern Ontario will benefit from cutting-edge research and be able to access clinical trials close to home thanks to donations to the Health Sciences North Foundation (HSN Foundation).   This year, donor support is funding six research projects at Health Sciences North (HSN) and the Health Sciences North Research Institute (HSNRI). The projects focus on challenges that directly affect Northern patients while expanding access to new cancer treatments and detecting cancer recurrence earlier, to improving therapies and reducing serious side effects.   Academic clinical trials play a vital role in improving cancer care by evaluating new treatment approaches and answering important questions about how to improve patient outcomes. While these studies are commonly available at larger academic hospitals, they are often inaccessible to patients living in Northern Ontario due to geography and the burden of travel.
