The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation has been instrumental in helping The Princess Margaret grow into Canada’s largest integrated cancer research, teaching, and treatment centre and one of the top five globally. The Cancer Centre’s doctors, scientists and researchers are dedicated to tackling some of the country's most challenging and complex cancer cases.
