On June 25, Minister Abbott announced the development of a new radiopharmaceutical laboratory at the BC Cancer Agency. "This new facility means that the Province will be set up to independently produce a stable, safe and secure source of radioisotopes used to perform PET/CT scans as well as allow for future expansion of PET/CT scans to other regions of the province," said Abbott. Radioisotopes are used to provide accurate pre-treatment detection of cancerous tumours. [News release]
