About

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 since September 2019.  Laura created a new clinical and academic program for patients with gynecologic cancer in Saskatchewan with the best surgical wait times for gynecologic cancer in Canada, a new robotic surgery program and for the first time, a clinical trials program for patients with gynecologic cancer in the province.  Laura holds nearly 5 million dollars in active research grants spanning surgical quality and safety, precision medicine and new technologies in oncofertility.  She is launching the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency’s first investigator-initiated trial in 2023 which will explore patient’s preferences for precision medicine in ovarian cancer. This is the first pragmatic trial in Canada that will leverage the cooperation of patients, oncologists, pathologists and basic scientists in order to improve quality of life, discover new treatment options and set a new standard of care for genetic tumor testing.
