Screening/symptom - diagnosis - treatment - survival are milestones in
the journey of cancer patients. Treatment is an important intervention
and is customized for individual patients. Treatment outcome can be
cure (or not) and with or without complications. Prospective
assessment of treatment outcome is not systematically carried out
around the world. Properly done, prospective outcomes data can provide
extremely valuable information that would only be available through
highly structured and expensive clinical trials otherwise. British
Columbia is uniquely placed to lead the world in this initiative. Come
and find out why and learn about some work currently underway in the
BC Cancer Agency to move this initiative forward.
