Oncopole is the cancer cluster of the Fonds de recherche du Québec - Santé (FRQS). It is a research, development and investment hub to accelerate the fight against cancer.
Its objective is to build bridges between the various resources available to ensure a coherent and competitive system in Quebec.
Oncopole is the cancer pole of the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS). This competition consists of supporting research projects that aim to provide better support for people with cancer in Quebec. In particular, by improving the care and services they receive in cancerology. The research projects rewarded place the patient partners at the heart of the research.
David Ogez, a member of the QPRN, is a professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine at the Université de Montréal and is one of the recipients of this competition. His research team is composed of eleven co-investigators including two patient partners. This competition rewards the development of a new approach to support that combines virtual reality and hypnosis. Developed by clinicians, researchers, digital artists and patient partners in remission from cancer, this new program will be validated with patients suffering from multiple myeloma, one of the most aggressive hematological cancers, and one whose treatments have the most adverse effects.
Congratulations!
