đź“Ł Happening in 1 WEEK! Join us on Zoom at 1pm EST next Thursday, Oct 15th for our next Policy Forum: Innovation in Lung Cancer Care and Treatment Delivery: The Potential of Subcutaneous Therapy!

For someone living with lung cancer, a treatment appointment can mean far more than the time the medicine is being administered. It can mean travel. Waiting. IV access. Time away from work and family. And, for many people, doing it again and again over the course of treatment.

Could emerging approaches such as subcutaneous therapy help change that experience — while also creating additional capacity within our healthcare system?

Join Dr. Rosalyn Juergens, President of Lung Cancer Canada, and Heather Hogan, lived experience voice, for our next Policy Forum on this topic! Together, they'll explore the patient experience, treatment delivery, health-system capacity and what needs to happen for innovation to translate into better care.

📣 Nous sommes heureux d’annoncer le nom des lauréats des Lung Ambition Awards (Prix Ambition pulmonaire) 2026!

Les projets de recherche des lauréats visent à améliorer l’accès équitable aux traitements contre le cancer du poumon, en évaluant et en corrigeant les obstacles auxquels font face les patients.

Le Dr Christian Finley dirige une équipe de recherche à l’institut St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and Foundation de Hamilton, en Ontario, qui tente de déterminer où se situent les cas de cancer du poumon. Elle emploie la cartographie géospatiale (une analyse à l’échelle du code postal fondée sur des marqueurs d’équité) dans ses travaux pour cerner les besoins. L’équipe y applique ensuite une deuxième analyse, fondée sur l’équité, pour repérer les populations mal desservies.

Le Dr Daniel French est chirurgien thoracique au Nova Scotia Health Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre, en Nouvelle-Écosse. Il est à la tête d’une équipe de recherche qui travaille à comparer deux modèles de prestation de soins contre le cancer du poumon parmi les populations rurales : la clinique thoracique communautaire du Cap-Breton et le modèle traditionnel de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, qui nécessite que les patients se rendent à Halifax pour suivre leur traitement. Le recours et l’accès aux soins de santé, ainsi que l’expérience des patients et des soignants, seront évalués.

Les lauréats recevront chacun 50 000 $ CA pour les aider à financer leurs recherches.

Le programme Lung Ambition Awards (Prix Ambition pulmonaire) est une initiative commune de Cancer pulmonaire Canada, de la Lung Ambition Alliance et AstraZeneca Canada visant à appuyer les recherches sur le cancer du poumon menées au Canada qui aideront à combler les principales lacunes dans le traitement du cancer du poumon.

📣 We’re thrilled to announce the winners of the 2026 Lung Ambition Awards!

The winners’ research projects are focused on improving equitable access to lung cancer care by assessing and addressing the barriers people face.

Dr. Christian Finley leads a research team at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and Foundation in Hamilton, Ontario, that will try to ascertain where lung cancer cases are located. Specifically, geospatial mapping (postal-code-level analysis based on equity stratisfiers) will help identify areas of need. Then, an equity-based analysis will be overlaid to identify underserved populations.

Dr. Daniel French is a thoracic surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre Nova Scotia Cancer Care Program in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He leads a research team that will compare two types of delivery models for lung cancer care in rural populations: a community-based thoracic clinic in Cape Breton vs the traditional model in Prince Edward Island, where people travel to Halifax for care. Healthcare utilization, access, and patient and provider experiences will be evaluated.

Each winner will be awarded $50,000 CAD to support their research.

The Lung Ambition Awards is a joint initiative from Lung Cancer Canada, The Lung Ambition Alliance and AstraZeneca Canada to support Canadian-based lung cancer research that will help address key gaps in lung cancer care.

Innovation in cancer care isn't only about developing new treatments. It is also about finding better ways to deliver them.

For someone living with lung cancer, a treatment appointment can mean far more than the time the medicine is being administered. It can mean travel. Waiting. IV access. Time away from work and family. And, for many people, doing it again and again over the course of treatment.

Could emerging approaches such as subcutaneous therapy help change that experience — while also creating additional capacity within our healthcare system?

Join Dr. Rosalyn Juergens, President of Lung Cancer Canada, and Larry Greco, lived experience voice, for our next Policy Forum: Innovation in Lung Cancer Care and Treatment Delivery: The Potential of Subcutaneous Therapy

Together, they'll explore the patient experience, treatment delivery, health-system capacity and what needs to happen for innovation to translate into better care.
