The Quebec Metastatic Breast Cancer Registry (the Registry) is a longitudinal registry aimed at developing a resource for breast metastases research, supporting research in this field and promoting collaboration between researchers, by providing them access to certain analytical results (the Results) obtained from data compiled in a de-identified format (the Data), namely in a format which no longer allows for the direct identification of patients suffering from cancer and having agreed to contribute to the Registry (the Participants). The Registry has been developed by the McPeak-Sirois Group for Clinical Research in Breast Cancer (the GMPS) and The Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (the RI-MUHC), in collaboration with other partners, including public healthcare institutions and their investigators (collectively, the Sites) having contributed to the Registry by recruiting Participants and providing Data.
