his talk outlines the scale of cancer in Canada and argues that traditional chemotherapy, while important, is limited by toxicity, discomfort, and poor tumor targeting. It highlights promising newer approaches including nanoparticle drug delivery, liposomal therapies, complex nanotherapies with imaging and heat generation, and future possibilities such as cancer vaccines.

Body motion during radiotherapy can misalign radiation delivery, risking tumor underdosing and healthy tissue damage. This research introduces real-time dose calculation software that tracks motion during treatment, enabling immediate corrections. Clinical testing shows one in five treatments benefit from adjustment, significantly improving radiotherapy safety and effectiveness.
