#KNOWvember #PMAM

© 2024 the cancer collaborative | le collaboratoire cancer

It’s been a month !! can’t believe it’s already over !

to everyone who participated in #precisionmedicine awareness month - whether you provided time to be a speaker, share your story, watch any of the videos that were uploaded or engaged in the conversation - THANK YOU !

and it’s not over yet - the month may be over but we still have more resources to share !

and especially thank you to our sponsors who supported the cancer collaborative to raise awareness on #genomics and #precaionmedicine !

access & reimbursement for genomic testing - what you need to nnow

#genomictesting is transforming cancer care, offering tailored insights into treatment options by analyzing the unique DNA of a tumour.

unlike traditional one size fits all approaches, it identifies specific mutations to help match patients with the most effective therapies.

but the challenge - access to this life saving tool in canada varies based on where you live, not just your medical needs

🔬 WHY GENOMIC TESTING MATTERS
✨ pinpoints the treatments most likely to work for you.
✨ reduces unnecessary treatments and their side effects.
✨ unlocks access to clinical trials offering innovative therapies.

🚧 THE PROBLEM
❌ testing access and funding differ across provinces.
❌ many face out of pocket costs for consumer comprehensive genomic profiling (like foundation medicine)
❌ reimbursement frameworks are inconsistent, leaving gaps in care.

💡 WHAT YOU CAN DO
🗣️ ADVOCATE- share your story with policymakers or at knowyourgenome.co
✉️ ENGAGE - write to your MNA/MPP urging equitable testing access - we have a sample letter for you to use at knowyourgenome.co
🤝 COLLABORATE Join campaigns like #KNOWvember #PMAM to raise awareness.
📚 LEARN Learn more about your options and rights.

together, we can push for better access to #precisionmedicine and the testing needed for all Canadians—regardless of where they live or their financial situation.

➡️ Visit knowyourgenome.co for resources, advocacy tips, and sample letters to help you take action.

your DNA can reveal crucial information about your tumour and the treatment options best suited for you? Genomic testing can guide precision medicine—but access to this life-changing testing isn’t the same for everyone.

Equitable access to genomic testing is essential to ensure every patient, regardless of where they live, their background, or their financial situation, can benefit from targeted treatments.

Ask your doctor about testing, advocate for better access, and join the movement for equitable precision medicine.

Your health should never be determined by your postal code.
