New ways to connect with CCTG have recently launched. CCTG is now on Instagram and Threads. The Threads app is built on the Instagram network and we have begun accounts on both platforms. Instagram and Threads is where we hope everyone in our Cancer research community can come together to discuss our research and support each others work. You can follow and connect directly with our accounts and we will make sure to follow you back.

We are sad to share that on June 16, 2023, Dr Walter Illarion Kocha (London, Ontario) has passed away.
Walter was an oncologist at the London Regional Cancer Centre for 34 years and the founder of their Neuroendocrine Program and one of pioneers of PRRT. Education and research were two of his great passions during his career, leading him to become both a foremost expert on treating neuroendocrine cancer, and a respected associate professor of Medicine and Oncology at Western University.
