Tonight I will be interviewing the extraordinary @MichelleObama here in Hamilton, Ontario! The former First Lady is currently touring around her highly anticipated new memoir "Becoming". I look forward to this evening and to hear what's next for Michelle!
A clinical trial that looks at medical imaging technology can make #brachytherapy even more effective for #prostatecancer patients. Using imaging, doctors can give a higher dose of radiation to specific areas while protecting healthy tissue. Full story: https://t.co/BfZYUbip3k
A first-ever Canadian study of early stage cervical cancer has shown that there is a higher rate of death & recurrence in patients who had minimally invasive surgery compared to those who had traditional open surgery for a radical hysterectomy. More @UHN: https://t.co/bRyn1IE4Dh
Happy #RehabilitationDay! Today we acknowledge those in rehabilitative work including our physicians, psychologists, nurses, scientists, social workers & more. This is a time to highlight the positive impact these services have in the lives of people at every stage of their life!
Thank you to everyone who attended the 17th annual @TheWeekendTO! With the support of 1,734 participants, $4 million was raised for vital cancer research at @pmcancercentre. Join us next year on Sept. 12, 2020! Read more: https://t.co/8Tj2dqgegW
Marell Tomeh has been a patient at @pmcancercentre for several years battling #leukemia & earlier this year she finally found a #stemcell donor. We kept in touch over the past few months & were very excited when she surpassed 100 days since her transplant earlier this month.👏
Funds raised from Princess Margaret Home Lottery are changing lives. We are committed to delivering the very best treatments today, while accelerating discovery through research @pmcancercentre! #ConquerCancer#CancerResearch#Innovation
Barbara Dunlop-Mohammad had purchased a @PMLotto ticket, even before she received a surgeon-driven robotic #hysterectomy to treat her Stage 1 #endometrialcancer at @pmcancercentre. She wanted to support #cancerresearch at this world-class facility & hopes others will do the same.
After donating to @pmcancercentre, Charlie Chan was diagnosed with #multiplemyeloma. He and his wife continue to give back while he waits for his 2nd #stemcelltransplant. We're grateful for the Chan's support and unwavering positivity 🙏 Read more: https://t.co/kNaTWVqhQF
Dr. Girish Kulkarni uses a surgical system called the da Vinci robot, which allows his team to operate in a minimally invasive manner. Like so much of the groundbreaking research happening at @pmcancercentre, the robot's funding comes from philanthropy. Thank you to our donors!
Has a volunteer or staff member gone above and beyond @pmcancercentre while you or a loved one received treatment? You can #nominate them today for the Gerald Kirsh Humanitarian Award which recognizes those staff in a meaningful way. Nomination forms here: https://t.co/UMUKsOv52W
Join us in the city & experience #Toronto under the stars with our 15km night walk Sept. 6! On Sept. 7 @OneWalkToronto will be leaving the city to do a 25km day trip! Because of OneWalk we are advancing cancer research @pmcancercentre. Register today: https://t.co/IW7F8W939g🚶♀️🚶♂️
Pamela Degendorfer is the Program Director for the #Cancer Clinical Research Unit (CCRU), a comprehensive & unique program providing oversight for all #clinicalresearch across @pmcancercentre. To find out more about our #clinicaltrials program, visit https://t.co/RQx6ZRr1jx.
Senior scientists @pmcancercentre & @UHN are creating the first shared database where clinicians around the world will be able to run biopsy results through an algorithm to assist in treating #cancer patients. Using Azure cloud #technology from @Microsoft: https://t.co/H70lGwNutd
We are transforming care through personalized medicine. This incredible research into epigenetics - the way genes are expressed to give us particular traits - has an important role to play in the outcomes of different types of cancer and the success of different therapies
Dr. Daniel De Carvalho & team have published important research about how genes involved in the extracellular matrix are affected by cancer. This work contributes to our understanding of how to further personalize treatment for patients based on their genetic or molecular profile
Our Medical #Oncology and #Hematology division is one of the largest in the Faculty of Medicine @UofT, and has the largest Blood and Marrow Transplant Program in #Canada. We strive to be global leaders in improving outcomes and advancing care through our research.
The 19th World Conference on Lung Cancer was held in Toronto-September 2018. This was the first time it was led by four female leaders in lung cancer dubbed "the Dream Team" and was the largest meeting in 40 years! https://t.co/R65aIWvG0J
