Laura Hopkins is a Gynecologic Oncologist with the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency. She is a Professor in the Division of Oncology and Provincial Lead for Gynecologic Oncology. Laura moved to Saskatoon in 2019 and created a new clinical and academic program for patients with gynecologic cancer. Saskatchewan has the fastest access to gynecologic cancer surgery in Canada, a new robotic surgery program and for the first time, a clinical trials program for patients with gynecologic cancer. Laura holds nearly 5 million dollars in active research grants spanning surgical quality and safety, precision medicine and new technologies in oncofertility. The Saskatchewan Cancer Agency’s first investigator-initiated trial has been activated in September, 2023 which will explore patient’s preferences for precision medicine in ovarian cancer. This is also the first pragmatic trial in ovarian cancer in Canada. This trial leverages the cooperation of patients, oncologists, pathologists and basic scientists in order to improve quality of life, discover new treatment options and hopefully, will set a new standard of care for genetic tumor testing for all patients with ovarian cancer.
