A portal that provides a province-wide, population-based cancer control program for the residents of British Columbia and the Yukon. The BC Cancer Agency''s mandate covers the spectrum of cancer care, from prevention and screening, to diagnosis, treatment, and through to rehabilitation. The BC Cancer Agency''s mandate is driven by a three-fold mission: 1. To reduce the incidence of cancer; 2. To reduce the mortality rate of people with cancer; 3. To improve the quality of life of people living with cancer. This mission drives everything we do, including providing screening, diagnosis and care, setting treatment standards, and conducting research into causes of, and cures for, cancer. The BC Cancer Agency operates five regional cancer centers, providing assessment and diagnostic services, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and supportive care. Each of the BC Cancer Agency''s centers delivers cancer treatment based on provincial standards and guidelines established by the Agency. We work in partnership with communities to provide a network of chemotherapy clinics so patients can receive care closer to home. Research is an essential part of the BC Cancer Agency''s mission to not only find the causes of cancer, but to find better treatments for prolonged life and better quality of life. With direct links between the BC Cancer Agency''s physicians and researchers at our five centers, the Deeley Research Centre (located in Victoria) and the BC Cancer Agency''s Research Centre (located in Vancouver), we can quickly translate new discoveries into clinical applications. The BC Cancer Agency''s Research Centre includes eight specialty laboratories including the Genome Sciences Centre, and the Terry Fox Laboratory. The BC Cancer Foundation raises funds for cancer research and enhancements to care at the BC Cancer Agency.

The fundraising partner of the BC Cancer Agency and the largest charitable funder of cancer research in this province. We enable donors to make contributions to leading-edge research that has a direct impact on improvements to cancer care for patients in British Columbia. By connecting philanthropy and research, we support the revolutionary advances that will help us achieve our vision of a world free from cancer. Our Cause: Supporting world-renowned cancer research in BC One in three British Columbians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Because the BC Cancer Agency integrates research and treatment, the process from discovery to treatment is shorter, and researchers are asking questions focused on the needs of patients in BC. The BC Cancer Agency excels at translating exciting discoveries from the researcher''''s bench to the patient''''s bedside. This is the quickest and most effective way to impact cancer care, and it makes the Agency an international leader in cancer research. Our Donors: Leading the way in helping us advance our cause Our unique relationship with the BC Cancer Agency allows our donors to be part of research discoveries made right here in BC. We invite donors to become more connected to the BC Cancer Agency''''s world-leading research that is shaping the future of patient care. At the BC Cancer Foundation we are funding the areas of greatest priority and promise. We know, because we ask the scientists and clinicians at the BC Cancer Agency to identify the priorities and needs that will have the most significant and timely impact on cancer care and treatment. We then partner with our donors to raise the necessary funds in support of this life-saving work. Together we are funding and finding solutions that are having a direct impact on improving care for cancer patients in British Columbia.

http://www.tfri.ca/terryfox/

Launched in October 2007, TFRI is the brainchild of the Terry Fox Foundation. TFRI involves collaboration between cancer hospitals and research organizations across Canada, and will occur initially in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. TFRI will support translational cancer research projects with the potential to significantly improve the health of cancer patients. TFRI is organized into functionally integrated yet geographically dispersed nodes. Regional cancer hospitals and research organizations participate in each node by providing space for researchers and by arranging for the participation of cancer patients in research projects. At each node, two node co-ordinators provide leadership, and bring together local scientific and clinical research teams to propose and manage specific projects. The TFRI headquarters team liaises with the TFRI nodes and provides direction, co-ordination and facilitates communication across the entire organization. The Terry Fox Foundation has committed a minimum of $50 million (CAN) over five years from donations obtained during the 25th anniversary of the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope and from new funds anticipated and those raised since 2005. Other partners sharing the same vision are being sought who will be asked to commit additional resources to support the ongoing work of the TFRI.

The bank is housed within the WMRGL. Types of material stored include viable cells, fixed cell suspensions, DNA, RNA / cDNA, and plasma. The material is made available to all cancer research groups both locally and nationally. Excess sample (mainly from blood and bone marrow) is stored from diagnostic patient material and from samples received throughout their disease course. The WMRGL serves a population of about 5.5 million and is the largest UK NHS genetic Lab. Due to the large patient population CEHRB is able to collate sufficient research material from all classifications of neoplastic haematological disorders including those that are rare.

Database to store and display somatic mutation information and related details and contains information relating to human cancers. The mutation data and associated information is extracted from the primary literature. In order to provide a consistent view of the data a histology and tissue ontology has been created and all mutations are mapped to a single version of each gene. The data can be queried by tissue, histology or gene and displayed as a graph, as a table or exported in various formats.
Some key features of COSMIC are:
* Contains information on publications, samples and mutations. Includes samples which have been found to be negative for mutations during screening therefore enabling frequency data to be calculated for mutations in different genes in different cancer types.
* Samples entered include benign neoplasms and other benign proliferations, in situ and invasive tumours, recurrences, metastases and cancer cell lines.
