Cancer is personal. Care should be too. đź’™
Behind every conversation about precision oncology is a person waiting for answers.
For Jennifer Lovrics and her family, those answers brought hope, more time, and access to treatment options that might not have otherwise been available.
In this powerful story from CCRAN’s The Future of Cancer Care Is Personal video, Jen shares her family’s journey after her husband, Connor, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer — a disease that continues to pose significant treatment challenges.
Through genomic testing, Connor’s care team was able to better understand the unique biology of his tumour, identify treatment opportunities, and open the door to a clinical trial and targeted therapies beyond standard care.
Connor’s story is a powerful reminder that equitable access to genomic testing can have a meaningful impact — not only on treatment decisions but also on the lives of patients and the families who stand beside them.
Originally featured at CCRAN’s 4th Annual Pan-Tumour Biomarkers Conference, this video highlights the voices of patients, caregivers, and advocates calling for equitable access to personalized cancer care across Canada.
Because every patient deserves the opportunity to receive the right care at the right time.
