Radiation Therapy 7 Days a Week

The Carlo Fidani Regional Cancer Center (CFRCC) provides all radiation treatments for patients residing in two of the fastest growing LHINs in the province of Ontario. Over the last 10 years, the center has seen a 90% growth in the number of LINAC treated cases above the provincial growth rate of 36%. However, the growth in infrastructure to meet this demand has not kept pace. In 2018, the CFRCC had 2 machines less than the 8 that Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) projected was required for this time period.
