DAVID JAFFRAY Many of our patients need solutions that simply do not exist. At Princess Margaret Cancer Centre we are taking matters into our own hands. Every day, our cancer experts are searching for answers and creating technologies that benefit our patients. At The Princess Margaret, we never settle. We are always pushing the envelope. We don’t just invent technology. We build the facilities and the processes needed to impact every aspect of cancer care. This has allowed us to explore completely personalized approaches where we take images of the patient just before treatment, design the plan for them, and treat them in ways we could never have achieved before. We are also continuously adopting new methods, including the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence, to deliver precision medicine. The Princess Margaret is transforming cancer care for Canadians thanks to advances in technology, fueled by the innovation of our cancer experts and the generosity of our community. With your support, we will Conquer Cancer In Our Lifetime. Read our magazine online: ThePMCF.ca/Transformers THE TRANSFORMERS
