Abstract

The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network (MOHCCN), led by the Terry Fox Research Institute and the Terry Fox Foundation, unites researchers, clinicians, patients, funders, and other partners across Canada to accelerate precision oncology, promote collaboration and data sharing, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. This overview outlines the Network's goals, history, and challenges and opportunities. We also highlight progress toward the "MOHCCN Gold Cohort," a shared resource of clinical and genomic data from 15,000 patients.
