Treated at the CHUM for uterine cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCancer is a truly terrifying experience, and I hope everyone going through it will be able to have even more options for treatment. In the past, my cancer diagnosis would have been a death sentence. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, though, I have hope that recovery is in the cards for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 – Cancer is the number one cause of death in Canada.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nearly half of all Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and 1 in 4 will die from it. Cases of cancer have been on the rise for years now, with no signs of slowing down, and they are also becoming more and more complex. As traditional oncology hits its limits, we continue to develop increasingly personalized, tailored treatments to help the CHUM go further and save more lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
