“Rather than say using invasive approaches… blood samples like plasma or serum capture the signature of a cancer somewhere in the body… In many cases we can detect those signatures up to 7 years before [a #cancer diagnosis].” – Dr. Philip Awadalla, Director at OICR

OHS participant Matt asks: How does our blood change as we age?
Find out from cancer researcher Dr. @KimSkead how our blood acts as an early messenger of emerging health issues, and why platforms like the OHS are important to the early detection of cancer & chronic disease.
In celebration of #ScienceLiteracyWeek, we present our latest Ask a Cancer Researcher video. Here, Dr. @KimSkead answers the question of how our blood changes as we age and how that factors into predicting, diagnosing and treating cancer.

🔬🦠 Boosting Immunity Insights: New research led by @COVIDimmunityTF, with contributions from CanPath, reveals Canada's evolving immunity landscape in the first pan-Canadian seroprevalence study!
🔗 canpath.ca/2023/08/covid-ser…
SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence:
Most people in Canada were infected with SARS-CoV-2 for the first time during the Omicron era, after previously being vaccinated.

ALT Given variations in population seropositivity by age and geography, the potential for waning antibody levels, and new variants that may escape immunity, public health policy and clinical decisions should be tailored to local patterns of population immunity.

The Next Generation: @nickwfcheng, PhD candidate in @AwadallaLab, is using OHS & @CanPath data to look for #biomarkers in the blood that could be used to detect breast, prostate and pancreatic cancers several years before a traditional diagnosis.

📢 Our COVID-19 Antibody Study found that 53% of the #COVID19 diagnoses were among those who neither knew, nor suspected, they had been infected! Check out Dr. Victoria Kirsh’s findings in her @CanPath webinar. @AwadallaLab @KimSkead
