BC Cancer Foundation

Goddess Run is proud to partner with the BC Cancer Foundation to support the Immunotherapy Clinical Trials Program. Phase 1 of this program focuses on Adoptive T Cell Therapy (ATC) and is set to begin in April. ATC activates and expands a patient's own T cells (a type of white blood cell) and infuses large numbers back into the patient's bloodstream to "seek and destroy" cancer cells wherever they may be hiding. The first trial at BC Cancer in Victoria will focus on treating gynecological cancers (ovarian, cervical and endometrial) with naturally occurring, tumour-fighting T cells.
