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

As Director of the Provincial Oncology Drug Program at @CancerCareMB, Marc brings clinical expertise, operational insight, and a long-standing commitment to cancer care to HealthPRO Canadaโs Pharmacy Advisory Committee (PAC).
In this video, Marc shares what inspired him to join the committee, how decades of hands-on oncology work shape the perspective he brings to the table, and why collaboration is key to advancing drug safety and protecting the supply of critical medications.
Plus: the one thing he definitely canโt live without (spoiler: itโs strong and usually served hot).
๐ฅ Watch now to hear Marc in his own words.
