Four domains of expertise, supported by a clinical trials platform and a data hub, working within the clinical context to improve outcomes across the lifespan.
From population-based studies of treatment delays to patient-reported outcome programs and translational cancer biology, this domain works to make cancer care earlier, fairer, and more responsive to what patients actually experience.

Projects include immersive virtual-reality therapy to reduce stress and pain, understanding repeat emergency department visits, and international work on AI-driven social robots to reduce isolation among older adults from migrant communities.

Investigators study optimized medication strategies to reduce post-operative bleeding, and evaluate how operating rooms can cut their ecological footprint through waste management, recycling, and reusable equipment — without compromising care.

Research here spans access to perinatal mental health services, strengths-based leadership and work culture in nursing, and the organisation of services so that quality care is accessible and sustainable for the community.
Explore domain →Two shared platforms function across all four domains to enhance the centre's mission of academic excellence and scientific progress.
Shared infrastructure and expertise that lets every domain design, launch, and run trials to a consistent standard of quality.
Linked data, methodology, and analytics capacity supporting rigorous, reproducible research across the centre.
Investigating disparities in access to timely endometrial cancer care across diverse populations in Quebec, using linked population-based health data to support more equitable care.
Québec's largest program using patient-reported outcome measures — short questionnaires that let patients share how they're really doing between visits, so concerns are addressed earlier.
An international project exploring how AI-driven social assistive robots can help older adults, particularly those from migrant communities, stay connected and access health and social services.
Evaluating ways to reduce the environmental impact of surgery through better waste management, recycling initiatives, and more sustainable operating room practices.
Working with providers, patients, and community partners to identify barriers to perinatal mental health services and improve timely support for pregnant and postpartum families.
A virtual reality program delivering immersive classical music experiences to reduce stress and pain and improve well-being in older adult patients.
The Centre currently conducts more than 30 clinical trials across several areas of cancer care — including lung, pancreatic, gastric, gastroesophageal junction, and breast cancers, as well as lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndromes, and other hematological malignancies.
Our broader portfolio also includes translational studies and patient registries designed to support earlier detection, improve treatment monitoring, and deepen our understanding of cancer outcomes.
