Meet Luana

At the age of 25, Luana Locke was diagnosed with breast cancer while she was pregnant with her first child. Her diagnosis triggered genetic testing that revealed she had a rare hereditary disorder that comes with an almost 100% chance of developing cancer again in her lifetime. Today, thanks to breakthroughs in early detection at The Princess Margaret, she has survived cancer six times. Luana is living proof that the research we do today saves lives tomorrow.

Here are some of the major breakthroughs that have been made possible through your support:

We revolutionized the world’s understanding of cancer.

Princess Margaret scientists Till and McCulloch’s discovery of the stem cell in 1963 was a revolutionary moment in cancer research and care. The cell’s ability to renew and repair tissues in the human body laid the foundations for regenerative medicine around the world.
We pioneered immunotherapy, a less toxic alternative to chemotherapy.

Dr. Tak Mak cloned the T-Cell Receptor in 1983, a discovery that paved the way for more effective and less toxic cancer treatments through immunotherapy.
We developed a blood test with the potential to change how cancer is detected.

In 2018, Drs. Daniel De Carvalho and Scott Bratman developed a simple blood test to detect different kinds of cancer and their location in the body, potentially diminishing the need for biopsies and allowing doctors to detect cancer earlier, when it's more curable.
