Institute, CRCHUM, CHUM Foundation: who does what with your gift
Three Montreal organisations carry similar names and fund the same cancer research. They do not do the same thing. Here is how to tell them apart before you give.
News
What the research we fund is producing.
Impact
382,000 dollars, one recruitment, and a question now asked before immunotherapy
How a start up fund brought a researcher back from Paris, and how his work changed what patients are asked before treatment begins.
Science
The cancer cells that play dead, and how to hit them twice
After an apparently successful chemotherapy, ovarian cancer sometimes returns. Work funded by the Institute showed why, and led to a trial combining two drugs.
Programmes
What it takes to bring a researcher back to Quebec
A scientist who left to train in Boston, Paris or Oregon does not return out of sentiment. They return if someone guarantees them five years. That is what Bringing the minds home has done since 2007.
Giving
Giving in memory of someone: how it actually works
What you can ask a funeral home, what the family learns, and what becomes of the money. Plainly, for a moment when you are in no state to go looking.
History
1947: why two physicians founded the first French language cancer research centre in the Americas
A pathologist and a gastroenterologist at Hôpital Notre-Dame decided to do research in French on a continent that did not. What they started still exists.
