SUMMARY:National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:
 Cornelia Hoehr from TRIUMF will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The presentation is titled "How nuclear physics 
 can treat cancer - radiotherapy at TRIUMF."\n
 \n
 Besides 
 being Canada's particle accelerator 
 centre with emphasis on nuclear, particle 
 and accelerator physics, TRIUMF has a long 
 history of medical isotope production and radiotherapy. 
 Cancer treatment with different particles 
 has been a long-standing commitment 
 at TRIUMF, first with pion therapy and then with 
 proton therapy, for many years operating 
 Canada's only proton therapy facility. To improve 
 treatment further, we are researching and 
 establishing FLASH radiotherapy, where the 
 total treatment dose is delivered in less than 
 a second. In addition, we are investigating 
 using alpha and auger emitters for targeted 
 radioisotope therapy. Both have the potential 
 to revolutionize cancer treatment by increasing 
 the therapeutic index.\n\n
