Ontario nuclear plant to produce material for life-saving cancer treatment

Nuclear medicine in Ontario produces the materials needed for new and vital cancer treatments.

This treatment method, which is called proton therapy, destroys cancer cells by using proton rays.

The advantage of this method is its fewer side effects compared to traditional cancer treatment methods such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Proton Therapy manufacturing facilities are located in Chalk River and are expected to be fully operational in 2025.

This news has increased the hope of recovery among cancer patients and their families.
