This Sunday is World Breast Cancer Research Day -- set as the 18th day of the 8th month to represent the statistic of 1 in 8 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes. While breast cancer advocacy is the most active in October, this day stresses the importance of advocacy year-round. #breastcancer #worldbreastcancerresearchday #cuthbertlab

Investigating health outcomes and the impacts of a cancer diagnosis on patients and their families.
About us
The Cuthbert Lab is an academic research group at the University of Calgary, conducting patient and family centered cancer survivorship research. Life after a cancer diagnosis can mean living with permanent changes to physical, psychological, and social health for patients and their families. Progress in cancer survivorship research and care is needed to maximize health and wellbeing in those impacted by cancer. That's where we come in.
