RESEARCH

Advancing Breast Cancer Research

CURE is committed to advancing breast cancer treatment by funding research that deepens understanding, drives innovation, and helps bring hope to patients facing the disease.

Every day, 89 Canadian women receive a life-changing breast cancer diagnosis. For Jason Topolski, a first-year MSc student in Biochemistry working among Professor Morag Park’s research team at the Rosalind & Morris Goodman Cancer Institute (GCI), that statistic is driving his research. He was awarded the CURE Foundation Scholarship in 2025, and today we highlight the impact it has on his research.

Patient Support in Action

“Receiving support from the CURE Foundation meant so much more than financial assistance. It was a gesture of hope and solidarity — real, tangible help that reminded me I was not alone.”

AWARENESS

Awareness Starts With Knowing Your Normal

Breast education begins with understanding your body, knowing your family history, and speaking up when something doesn’t feel right. CURE encourages women to stay informed, ask questions, and advocate for their breast health.

Understand Your BRCA Risk


You can inherit more than your looks from your parents. 


BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes we all carry, but inherited mutations can increase the risk of breast, ovarian, and other cancers. Understanding your family history can help you take informed next steps.
