Cancer

Research at the University of Toronto, supported by neutron reflectometry studies, is now contributing to the development of a blood-based diagnostic technology for ovarian cancer.

A University of Manitoba physicist is part of an international research team developing a cancer treatment method that uses magnetic nanoparticles to kill tumours with heat.

Neutron beams reveal the molecular mechanisms behind a new technology that could reduce the risk of complications and death from heart bypass surgery and dialysis. The same technology might soon help more women survive ovarian cancer.
