The Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) Operations and Statistics Centre will receive full funding of $19,457,683 through The Major Science Initiatives (MSI) Fund. Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, François-Philippe Champagne announced the award at Queen’s University as part of the 19 successful research infrastructure projects receiving $628 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI).
The CCTG BRC5 abstract was presented at the 2022 World Conference on Lung Cancer in Vienna, Austria as a Plenary 3: Presidential Symposium - Top Rated Abstracts. The presentation concluded that Sublobar resection (including wedge) are equivalent to lobectomy for stage I lung cancer <2cm. There is the potential that this could become a new standard of care with no difference in DFS or OS and similar rates of recurrence.
