Here on the East Coast, The Atlantic PATH is recruiting 30,000 men and women aged 18 to 69 from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.
This research is particularly important for Atlantic Canada, which has the highest rates of cancer in the country. Every year, more than 13,400 Atlantic Canadians are diagnosed with cancer and 6,300 die as a result. The disease truly does touch everyone living in this region, either personally or through family and friends.
The Atlantic PATH will help researchers find out why some people develop cancer and others don’t, so that we can find new ways of preventing this disease. It will also help us find new ways to diagnose cancer earlier, when it can be easier to treat.
