Thank you @ctvwinnipeg for highlighting the touching story of this remarkable woman who is cancer-free from #esophagus #cancer without having to sacrifice her quality of life, thanks to an innovative treatment protocol developed #Manitoba #Canada @CancerCareMB
This treatment combined all the latest advancements in organ-sparing incisionless cancer removal, immunotherapy and radiation therapy to provide an effective cure with no pain as well as minimal complications and impact on quality of life.

This investigator-initiated clinical trial would not have been possible without the support of @CancerCareMBFdn & @MBBlueCross MMSF as well as @UM_RadyFHS

Thanks @AstraZenecaCA for providing immunotherapy agent and supporting a trial that was developed by clinicians & patients to address an issue that was important to patients!

We hope to expand this trial across #Canada to help more patients access this therapy & try to bring this into clinical practice

Plus: the one thing he definitely can’t live without (spoiler: it’s strong and usually served hot).

The fact regular exercise (2.5 hours/week) helps prevent up to 40% of cancers is a good reason to stay fit. Get active to reduce your risk.

Have you had your Pap?
If you're 21–69 and have ever had sexual contact, you may need a Pap test every 3 years.
It’s a simple step that can help detect cervical cancer early.

As Canada Day approaches, we reflect on its meaning—a time of celebration for many, and a time of grief or reflection for others.
However you spend the day, may it be meaningful, respectful, and rooted in understanding. 🍁 #CanadaDay
