#KNOWvember
PRECISION ONCOLOGY AWARENESS MONTH
is
this month is about understanding the science that’s already changing the future of cancer care — and the work we do all year to make it accessible to everyone.
why it matters
Precision Oncology Awareness Month (POAM) brings science, stories, and systems together to show how precision oncology is transforming cancer care. Throughout #KNOWvember, we’re sharing insights, real experiences, and tools to help every Canadian understand — and access — the power of genomic testing. Because knowing your genome isn’t just science — it’s a step toward better care for everyone.
why it
MATTERS
We believe that understanding your genome shouldn’t feel like decoding hieroglyphics. Precision oncology is changing what’s possible in cancer care — but only if people know it exists, know what to ask for, and know why it matters. Education and awareness aren’t side projects; they’re the spark that turns discovery into access, and access into better outcomes. When patients, clinicians, and policymakers all speak the same language of precision, everyone wins — faster diagnoses, smarter treatments, and fewer people left behind.
