This includes CCTG patient representatives who share their lived experience, patient participants who make clinical trials possible, clinicians and scientists who contribute their expertise, and research staff across the network who help support and strengthen our work. We also recognize the important contributions of Canadian Cancer Society fundraisers and donors, whose generosity helps sustain research that can improve outcomes for people affected by cancer.Each contribution matters. Whether through participation in a trial, scientific and clinical leadership, research support, advocacy, fundraising, philanthropy, mentoring, education, or training.Your commitment to sharing knowledge and experience, guiding colleagues, supporting learning, and building capacity within the cancer research community is especially meaningful—strengthening the network today while preparing the next generation of researchers, clinicians, staff, and patient partners for the work ahead. Your involvement helps move cancer research forward and brings hope to patients, families, and communities across Canada. We are deeply grateful for your dedication, compassion, and commitment. Thank you for being part of this important work and for helping the Canadian Cancer Trials Group continue its mission to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.With sincere appreciation and deepest gratitude,Janet Dancey, MD, FRCPC,Chair, Canadian Cancer Trials Group
