Current need for improved technology for treating cancer patients

New technology in radiation therapy allows us to treat cancer patients with greater accuracy.  It also dramatically reduces side effects.  This technology has been widely available in the US for several years.  Unfortunately, very few cancer centers in Canada are able to have this technology.  The situation is urgent.  We need to obtain these new advances in radiation technology and make them available to all Canadian cancer patients immediately.
