In 1947, Dr. Sidney Farber reported the first case of remission of pediatric leukemia after a new therapeutic approach. It was the first of 10 successful remissions cases reported later on his published article. His achievement was the first steps to develop therapies that cure thousands of people in the years to come, providing a healthy life with a good childhood for those patients. #tbt #throwbackthursday #throwbackscience #science #torontoriot #cancerriot #canada #toronto #cancerfighter #cancerresearch #research

In the end of this Pink October, we decided to come up with a great woman scientist! Marie Curie was a scientist who discovered radium and polonium in 1989. Under her supervision, the first studies using radioactive elements were conducted to treat cancer. She was the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize and the only person to receive the Nobel Prize in two different categories: Physics and Chemistry. The molecule Radium 223 is used until today in radiotherapy treatments for different types of cancer. #womaninscience #canada #toronto #cancerawareness #nobelpeaceprize #science #physics #chemistry #cancerfighter #mariecurie #cancerresearch #research
