  • We continue to celebrate the investments at @hamiltonhealthsciences to improve women's health care in our region. Thanks to community donations, the CIBC Breast Assessment Centre at Juravinski Cancer Centre is now using magnetic seed therapy, an innovative technique that precisely identifies breast cancer tissue during surgery. By placing a tiny magnetic seed near the tumour and detecting it with a special probe, surgeons can remove cancerous tissue with greater accuracy and less harm to healthy tissue. Each year, more than 800 women receive new breast cancer diagnoses at the Breast Assessment Centre. For many, donor-supported magnetic seed therapy offers safer, more accurate, and more comfortable care.
