"The research investments in cancer clinical trials and progressive treatment options I have seen in recent years give me hope for the future. Which is why it’s important for me to bring my voice to the development of cancer clinical trials. I want to support inclusive trial enrollment, thereby improving the generalizability of results for diverse communities," says Michelle.

Early phase clinical trials provide an initial evaluation of therapies’ risks and benefits to patients, including safety and tolerability, which typically relies on reporting outcomes by investigator and laboratory assessments. Use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to inform risks (tolerability) and benefits (improvement in disease symptoms) is more common in later than early phase trials.
The CCTG HN10 (EVADER) results were presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 2024 Annual Meeting in Washington DC. The late breaking results concluded that radiotherapy to some of the lymph node areas can be safely excluded to decrease side effects without compromising tumour control.
Sexual Health and Quality of Life in Patients With Low-Risk Early-Stage Cervical Cancer: Results From GCIG/CCTG CX.5/SHAPE Trial Comparing Simple Versus Radical Hysterectomy
The HE1 clinical trial has permanently closed, the study confirmed that the quality-of-life benefits of palliative radiation therapy for symptomatic hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases. This trial no longer requires action, including the cessation of all patient follow-up for trial purposes, completion of Case Report Forms and obtaining of annual REB re-approvals.
