Canadian Cancer Research Group:
International Research, Counselling, Advocacy & Referral

The Group:
The Canadian Cancer Research Group was founded in 1993.  The Group was
formed in response to the growing demand, amongst consumers for cancer
treatment that combines and crosses traditional and non-traditional
modalities.  The purpose of the group is to provide support to cancer
patients, oncologists, and hospitals throughout diagnosis, treatment and
recovery.

The support the group provides includes; research, counselling, advocacy
and referral.

Research:
Research consists of conducting international patient specific
computerized and library searches into cancer treatment.  A typical search
will conclude with a complete overview of the disease and treatment
options through to a detailed examination of traditional and
non-traditional aspects of the disease including; general care and
treatment, diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy,
drug therapy, clinical trials, biologic therapy, genetics, complications,
risk factors, demographics, naturopathy, and homeopathy.  The report
generally tends to act as an information guide for determining and
following a specific treatment plan.  With patients and oncologists, the
group also sources selected treatment protocols.  This can include
acquisition of drugs, referrals to specialists and specializing
institutions , and negotiating with insurance carriers and government in
underwriting treatment costs.

Counselling:
Counselling the group provides is generally in consultation with our
associate psychiatrist.  It can take many forms, but principally that of
emotional and collegial support.  This is often complimented with various
forms of psycho-physiological support such as visualization, structured
reframing, collapse of paradigms, and theories of psychoneuroimmunology.

Advocacy:
Advocacy generally takes the form of interpreting information, issues and
concerns between patient and health practitioner.  The benefit to both is
a more objective and thoughtful approach in treatment, complications, and
recovery.

Referral:
The group provides a referral service.  Referral cross a variety of
services including; health care, naturopathy/homeopathy,
psychiatry/psychology, social services, public and private insurance
plans, government services, legal, and benevolent organizations.
