The centre has also innovated with highly specialized radiation treatments including the Cancer Ablation Therapy program (CAT). A major focus of development over the next five years is to accelerate the growth of our personalized oncology program including expansion of our early phase clinical trial portfolio and development of cell-based therapies.
