British Columbia is a recognized world leader in the field of gynecologic cancer research; the Gynecologic Cancer Initiative ... (GCI) aims to promote synergies and facilitate the integration between research scientists and clinicians, with the goal of accelerating the pace of change in improving patient outcomes. The group recognizes that the determination, talent and passion brought by each individual on the team and the incredible resources and rich research environment in BC, creates an unprecedented opportunity to ‘turn the page on the burden of gynecologic cancers’ and change the metrics around the prevention, detection, treatment and survivorship of gynecologic cancers in women in this province. The vision of the Gynecologic Cancer Initiative is to reduce the incidence, death and suffering from these cancers by 50% by 2034. The goal is to raise $100M to support and enable this initiative over the next 5 years. Funding will be dedicated to recruiting world class talent, state of the art technologies, laboratory and support infrastructure, and leading-edge and innovative research that will have an impact on women’s lives. The GCI aims to build a framework to aggregate the exceptional talent and incredible assets in British Columbia in a shared provincial vision: Research with tangible benefits for women at risk for, diagnosed with, and survivors of gynecologic cancers.
