This event aims to gather the community in support of cutting-edge research and vital care for people with lung, stomach and esophageal cancers. 

Each year, this gala raises funds for the Division of Thoracic Surgery at the McGill University Health Centre, headed by Dr. Lorenzo Ferri at the Montreal General Hospital.

Dr. Ferri and his team are building a pan-cancer, pan-Canadian Precision Oncology Platform. The current trial-and-error approach to chemotherapy drug selection unnecessarily exposes a significant proportion of patients to toxic drugs, not guaranteed to be effective. Dr. Ferri’s approach brings a personalized, precision option that offers patients a tailored plan for their specific disease.

Dr. Jonathan Spicer, a senior member of Dr. Ferri’s team, leads another important project. He is working to improve accessibility to clinical trials, so that the best thoracic cancer care is available to Quebecers wherever they live – in major centers as well as remote regions.

This year, all money raised will be included in the $100 million goal of Together Against Cancer, a fundraising campaign in collaboration with the Cedars Cancer Foundation. These inspiring projects are among the transformative initiatives supported by this major campaign, which will have a significant impact on cancer care and research.

Help us with our goal of transforming outcomes for cancer patients, especially for thoracic cancers and thus have a major impact on the lives of so many in our community. 

Your generous support advances cutting-edge treatment at one of North America’s most comprehensive Thoracic Surgical Oncology programs.
