Pan-Canadian Framework for Cancer Survivorship Research, 2017
Cancer survivorship encompasses a person’s path forward from the time of diagnosis. It includes a survivor’s family, friends, and caregivers whose lives have also been affected by the diagnosis.
An estimated 45% of all people in Canada will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. The good news is that more people are living with and beyond cancer. Our mission is to improve the physical, psycho-social, educational, and emotional experiences and outcomes of survivors and prioritize quality of care so they can thrive.
CanSURVIVE Research Group is accepting Masters and PhD students to work with our dedicated research team.
The CanSURVIVE Research Group works at Simon Fraser University and the BC Cancer Research Institute. Simon Fraser University (SFU) and BC Cancer Research Institute (BCCRI) are located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations
