In April 2024, at the CCTG Spring Meeting of Participants, the CCTG Patient Representative Committee members participated in a facilitated session designed to identify the research topics that Committee members view as being most important to cancer patients and caregivers. The outcome of the workshop resulted in the identification by the CCTG reps of six Cancer Research Priorities.
The Canadian Cancer Trials Group would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Erwin Wanderer, Bob Taylor, and Martina Wood for their commitment and dedication to the CCTG Patient Representative Committee. Erwin, Bob and Martina have completed their term on the committee and will be moving on from their invaluable role at CCTG at the end of 2024.
