Join the Fight Against Prostate Cancer At Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre, our goal is to transform cancer care. We are committed to improving quality of life for people living with prostate cancer. Our scientists’ world-leading research into prostate cancer will revolutionize treatment of the disease. Examples of this exciting work include: - Using genetic markers to predict, with extraordinary accuracy, a patient’s likelihood of developing prostate cancer. This will enable clinicians to select the most appropriate treatment on a case-by-case basis, sparing many men the unpleasant side effects of invasive procedures.
- Using focused ultrasound – an incredibly advanced technology – to target tumours with great accuracy, clotting their blood supply and choking their lifelines, while sparing surrounding healthy tissue that is so vital to many bodily functions.
Through ground-breaking research, education and patient care, we are saving and improving the lives of countless people in Canada and beyond.
