Their findings suggest, for the first time, that only very tiny regions of a tumor need to stiffen for metastasis to take place. Though still in its infancy, the researchers believe that their technique may prove useful in detecting and mapping the progression of aggressive cancers.<br /> <br /></p> Thu, 15 Oct 2020 15:28:06 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 243476 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/two-mcgill-professors-lead-new-stand-cancer-canada-metastatic-breast-cancer-dream-team-299423 <p>Marc Miller, Member of Parliament (Ville-Marie–Le Sud-Ouest–Île-des-SÅ“urs, Quebec) and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, on behalf of the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health, announced today at McGill an investment of up to $6 million for a scientific task force of top researchers to develop new and improved approaches to cancer treatment and care. The funding will be distributed over four years to the new pan-Canadian program, the Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) Canada Metastatic Breast Cancer Dream Team.</p> Fri, 09 Aug 2019 14:01:38 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 185734 at /newsroom /newsroom/sarkis-meterissian Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23582 at /newsroom
