Young cancer patients set Canada’s top research priorities

Researchers at the University of Calgary have developed 10 priorities for working with young people facing cancer.

The rest of the priorities span biomedical, psychosocial, financial, and health‑system challenges, representing a full spectrum seldom seen in cancer-research agendas.
