MOLECULAR MEDICINE RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (MMRI FOUNDATION)

The future of Canadian radiation therapy for cancer is in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Molecular Medicine Research Institute (MMRI) will offer the most advanced form of radiation treatment available worldwide. Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) will provide MMRI radiation oncologists with a new weapon in their arsenal to destroy cancer.

Proton Beam Therapy allows for the most aggressive cancer therapy possible, while keeping the harm to healthy tissue and side effects to a minimum. Combined with the MMRI scientific team's expertise in radiation therapy, MMRI will be the premier destination for cancer patients desiring the best treatment by the most experienced radiation oncologists.

MMRI will be a two-acre facility that includes a Synchrotron, three Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) treatment rooms with gantries (see above image) that administer proton beams from 360-degree angles, a fixed-beam PBT treatment room, 16 exam rooms and a simulation suite with Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for accurate treatment planning.

MMRI will offer the complete range of advanced proton therapies and provides research opportunities to maximize the capabilities of proton treatment on a variety of cancers.
