Cancer Prevention, Detection and Screening

Cancer Prevention, Detection and Screening projects look at the methods used to prevent, minimize the occurrence of cancer within the population. Other projects also involve those that determine new methods of detecting cancer or assessing the risk cancer occurrence.

    Centre for Health Economics in Cancer

    One of the recent innovations in the unit includes the implementation and development of the Centre for Health Economics in Cancer (CHEC) led by Dr. Stuart Peacock, D Phil from the United Kingdom. Stuart joined the BC Cancer Research Centre in 2005 and has been developing a group of researchers to complete research in the field of Health Economics in Cancer. CHEC currently consists of the following members: Paulos Teckle, Kimberly van der Hoek, Bonnie McCoy, Karissa Johnston, Barbara Poole, Zahra Musa and Lindsay Hedden.
