One in two Albertans will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. We need transformative change in the way cancer is prevented, detected and treated.

Members of the Cumming School of Medicine’s Arnie Charbonneau Cancer Institute are leading research breakthroughs that will positively impact patients with cancer and their families, now and well into the future. With the support of our community, we are solidifying Alberta’s role as an international leader in cancer care, research and innovation. Our researchers work side-by-side with clinicians, patients and their families inside the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre, a one-stop-shop for integrated cancer care and translating new research findings into best clinical practice and improved patient outcomes.
