ICYMI: Last month, MOHCCN officially achieved our goal of sequencing 15,000 cancer patient genomes, a major milestone in our efforts to accelerate precision oncology for cancer patients in Canada. Read the full story: www.marathonofhopecancercentres.ca/impact/news-...
🍁📈February 2026: Going beyond 15,000🍁📈
🧬💪Strength in numbers: We added another 523 full genomic profiles to our already 15k-case strong Gold Cohort.
📋⬆️Steady towards our goal: Clinical data from 768 patients was also added to the Gold Cohort, bringing our total number of complete cases to 9,589!
