Abstract
The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network (MOHCCN), led by the Terry Fox Research Institute and the Terry Fox Foundation, unites researchers, clinicians, patients, funders, and other partners across Canada to accelerate precision oncology, promote collaboration and data sharing, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. This overview outlines the Network’s goals, history, and challenges and opportunities. We also highlight progress toward the “MOHCCN Gold Cohort,” a shared resource of clinical and genomic data from 15,000 patients.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Cell is a journal that focuses on promoting major advances in cancer research and oncology. The primary criteria for considering manuscripts are as follows:
Major advances: Manuscripts should provide significant advancements in answering important questions related to naturally occurring cancers.
Translational research: The journal welcomes translational research, which involves the application of basic scientific findings to human health and clinical practice.
Clinical investigations: Cancer Cell is interested in publishing clinical investigations that contribute to establishing new paradigms in the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of cancers.
Insights into cancer biology: The journal values clinical investigations that provide important insights into cancer biology beyond what has been revealed by preclinical studies.
Mechanism-based proof-of-principle studies: Cancer Cell encourages the publication of mechanism-based proof-of-principle clinical studies, which demonstrate the feasibility of a specific therapeutic approach or diagnostic test.
