“We’ve identified a particular protein that is essential for this metastatic process, [from the primary tumour to the lungs and liver].”

For Peter Siegel, every research breakthrough represents a step closer to better breast cancer treatments. A professor at McGill University and researcher at the Goodman Cancer Institute, he focuses his work on understanding the mechanisms that drive cancer progression.​

With support from the Cancer Research Society and la Vie en Rose, his team continues to study triple-negative breast cancer to advance new therapeutic approaches and improve outcomes for those affected.​​

“Many environmental factors may still play a role in the onset of the disease, but we don’t yet know what they are.”

Understanding how our environment influences health is at the heart of Nolwenn Noisel’s research. As a professor at the School of Public Health of Université de Montréal (ESPUM), she studies the effects of environmental exposures and stress on health.​

Her project explores how pollutants, stress and accelerated aging may influence breast cancer risk to identify new risk factors and contribute to improved prevention strategies.​​​

About the Cancer Research Society

For over 80 years, the Cancer Research Society (CRS), founded by a group of women at a time when no Canadian organization focused solely on cancer research, has been dedicated to funding research on all types of cancer.

In this effort, it supports thousands of innovative research projects, always aiming to surpass expectations in scientific advancement with steadfast dedication. The CRS supports research projects focusing on all types of cancer prevention, detection, and treatment.
