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
