Dear Thriver,
For the past six years, we’ve been sharing the Colorectal Cancer Outcomes Research Newsletter to keep you updated on our studies, invite participation, and provide links to published results. To stay better connected and deliver exciting and helpful content directly to your inbox, we are excited to launch this Colorectal Cancer Research Digest - insights you can trust—from someone who’s been there.
In the coming issues, we'll dive into completed research studies and share key findings, insights, resources and everything else you need to know in one quick read.
I hope you find some gems and have a great week!
Sincerely,
Mary

Balancing research and family: Dr. Mary De Vera‍ ‍combines her passion for colorectal cancer research with precious moments spent with her loved ones.
I want to share my personal journey with you. In 2016, at the age of 36, I was diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer. This experience transformed my life in ways I never imagined, taking me from being a researcher to becoming a cancer patient, and eventually inspiring me to return to research.
In 2018, I founded the Colorectal Cancer Outcomes Research Program at the University of British Columbia. My mission is to merge research, awareness, and education about colorectal cancer, ensuring that others have access to the information and support they need.
I hope my story resonates with you and encourages you to stay informed and engaged in this important conversation.
Warm regards,
Mary De Vera, PhD
