On September 1, the Myeloma Canada Research Network (MCRN) officially launched the MCRN Canadian Multiple Myeloma Database. It will capture relevant data and work toward optimizing the care of Canadian myeloma patients, across the country. Most of the larger cancer treatment centres in Canada will participate in the Database.

The official launch had the following speakers: Dr. Reece from Princess Margaret, Dr. Venner from Edmonton who is Chair of the Database, and Aldo Del Col from Myeloma Canada.

Princess Margaret has a very key role. There was significant media coverage, and a press release, linked here: http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/first-multiple-myeloma-database-for-canada-captures-real-world-patient-evidence-591994171.html.
