About

We are one of the largest clinical research consortiums for breast cancer in Canada

Our mission is to improve the fight against breast cancer by increasing access to and participation in clinical research studies across various regions in the province of Quebec.

The origin of our Group is rooted in the story of Susan McPeak, a breast cancer survivor who was given a 40% chance of survival. Together with her husband Charles Sirois, a renowned entrepreneur, they decided to get involved to make the best care accessible to as many people as possible fighting breast cancer in Quebec. Their vision is one of increased access to and participation in innovative research protocols throughout the province.

Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001, I was fortunate to be offered treatment through a research protocol that gave me access to cutting-edge treatment. I am very grateful to have benefited from this experimental treatment, which I credit for my survival.

Our common goal: to become THE gateway for all clinical trials in breast cancer in Quebec.

The strength of our unique Group in Canada lies in the willingness of public institutions to combine their strengths, expertise, and experience so that the best practices based on the latest knowledge in breast cancer are shared within the medical community of Quebec through research that cares.

Charles Sirois and Susan McPeak decided to get involved together to make research that cares accessible

The McPeak-Sirois Group for Clinical Research in Breast Cancer is a unique initiative that brings together researchers and healthcare professionals working in breast cancer for the benefit of patients. It contributes to promoting research that cares, which provides access to innovative treatments and improved quality of life. The co-founders of the Group take immense pride in enabling more individuals affected by this disease to benefit from research that cares, regardless of where they reside or receive treatment.

We believe that Susan’s experience and our involvement will improve breast cancer treatment and increase the survival rate in Quebec
