Treatment offering new hope for late-stage colorectal cancer patients under development at University of Saskatchewan

A medical researcher at the University of Saskatchewan is bringing the quest for a magic bullet in cancer treatment one step closer to reality.

Fonge said he now has “tons of data” to show that the new treatment works. In mice, he has seen a complete cure in “up to 80 per cent” of them. Now an award of more than $800,000 from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research will help him move on to human clinical trials. Fonge said receiving messages like that “really touches my heart,” and drives him to help improve care.

Saskatchewan could become fifth province with safe injection sitePublic health advocates in Saskatoon are planning to open a facility where drug users can more safely inject illegal drugs. It would be the first of its kind in Saskatchewan. While a supervised place to inject poison is a good start we must do more. How about some TV, snacks and charging stations for their phones? They'll be tired after shooting up, so beds too, obviously. Maybe private suites. If it works, build another! and another! and another! This is ridiculous, get people off heroine don't invite them in for free needles and supervision, you really aren't dealing with the real issues just applying pressure. Shouldn't we be forcing addicts to go to rehab? Is that not what Portugal has done since decriminalizing all drugs? Safe injection sites seem like a very 'bandaid' solution to a much bigger problem.
