The UTERUS Project is the recipient of the inaugural, “Women Leading Philanthropy Grant”. The 100-plus members of Royal University Hospital Foundation’s Philanthropy program voted to invest their $100 thousand combined donation to Doctor Candice Jackel-Cram and her team. All women with uterine cancer will now be offered genetic testing at the time of their diagnosis, looking for evidence of a genetic and hereditary explanation. The new approach is said to provide more timely care and follow-up and help other family members determine if they should get tested. Dr. Jackel-Cram says, “This will decrease the time waiting for results and genetic counselling from three to four years to one to two months.”
