About the Project
Beyond the Stories is a project presented by the Gynecologic Cancer Initiative and is funded by Michael Smith Health Research BC. This project aims to share timely evidence-based information on prevention, diagnostics,
treatment and survivorship in gynecologic cancer that is created with patients, and for patients. Patients are not given the means nor necessarily the training, to keep up with the latest research evidence, but we have a huge capacity
of experts in Gynecologic cancer in British Columbia who can help provide timely research findings in an accessible manner.
Now Available: Molecular Classification/ ProMisE
The Gynecologic Cancer Initiative has just launched the fourth and final video of their Beyond the Stories series, funded by Michael Smith Health Research BC: “Molecular Classification/ProMisE.”
The video features GCI Patient Partners patients Stephani and Margaret as well as Dr. Jessica McAlpine and Dr. Amy Jamieson, as they talk about the ProMisE molecular classification system and the value of tailoring treatments to the patient.
