Renouf and Schaeffer are leading a new pan-Canadian research project titled Enhanced Pancreatic Cancer Profiling for Individualized Care, funded by the Terry Fox Research Institute. EPPIC looks at DNA and RNA sequenced from metastatic pancreatic cancer tumours to improve understanding as to why some individuals receive treatment better than others. The $5-million funding from the Terry Fox Research Institute will support the sequencing of metastatic pancreatic tumours that EPPIC aims to do for 400 patients in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and B.C. and expand the program across Canada.</p> </div> <div class="panel-pager bottom"></div>  </div><div class="after-body"></div> </div>  </div> <nav class="clearfix"><ul class="links inline"><li class="node-readmore first last"><a href="/news/2018/04/19/pancreas-centre-bc-researchers-lead-new-national-study-investigate-metastatic" rel="tag" title="Pancreas Centre BC researchers lead a new national study to investigate metastatic pancreatic cancer ">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about Pancreas Centre BC researchers lead a new national study to investigate metastatic pancreatic cancer </span></a></li></ul></nav> <span property="dc:title" content="Pancreas Centre BC researchers lead a new national study to investigate metastatic pancreatic cancer " class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span></article> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-7 views-row-odd"> <article id="node-153" class="node node-article node-teaser article clearfix" about="/news/2017/10/24/pancreatic-cancer-awareness-forum-november-25-2017" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document" role="article"> <header class="node-header"> <h1 class="node-title" rel="nofollow"> <a href="/news/2017/10/24/pancreatic-cancer-awareness-forum-november-25-2017" rel="bookmark">Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Forum: November 25, 2017</a> </h1> </header> <footer class="submitted"> <p class="author-datetime"><span property="dc:date dc:created" content="2017-10-24T11:31:00-07:00" datatype="xsd:dateTime" rel="sioc:has_creator">Posted on <time datetime="2017-10-24T11:31:00-0700" pubdate="pubdate">Oct 24, 2017</time></span> </p> </footer> <div class="node-content">  <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"> <div class="inner field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"> <p>The annual Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Forum (PCAF) is an educational day for patients with pancreatic cancer as well as their families and supporters.
