We have wonderful news. Thanks to you, the critical funds raised in The Weekend to End Breast Cancer® benefiting Princess Margaret Hospital are providing breakthrough technology and research in the fight against breast cancer.
As reported in Wednesday’s Globe and Mail, PMH specialists are using a new way to treat patients by delivering a one-time dose of radiation during surgery making subsequent treatment unnecessary. The benefits from this cutting edge technology are immense, “treating the specific area of cancer with this kind of precision protects the skin, heart and lungs from unnecessary radiation, minimizes side effects, and saves the patient a lot of time,” said Dr. David McCready, who heads the PMH Breast Cancer Program. Princess Margaret is the only hospital in Canada with this portable intrabeam radiotherapy machine, purchased directly from funds raised from The Weekend to End Breast Cancer.
Thank you for your support...
