Oncopole has the specific goal to make Quebec a dynamic and innovative research environment to benefit the very patients affected by cancer. Oncopole values the complementarity of expertise between health professionals and patients. As active collaborators, patient-partners provide an important added value through their experiential knowledge.

The first task of the patient-partners committee will be to actively collaborate with Oncopole to define the investment priorities and help identify the research projects likely to have a positive impact on the experience of patients affected by cancer.
