Cutting cancer treatment time in half — safely.

A team at CancerCare Manitoba introduced a rapid infusion protocol for Obinutuzumab, allowing eligible patients to receive treatment in 93 minutes instead of more than three hours.

Over four and a half years, the approach safely delivered 667 treatments, saving more than 1,100 hours of chair time across the province. That means less time in clinic for patients and more capacity to treat others who need care.

This work, the largest real-world review of rapid infusion obinutuzumab, was led by a collaborative team of hematologists, nurses, pharmacy colleagues and student researcher Harshal Senthil.

Colon cancer often doesn’t cause symptoms in its early stages.
But if you notice changes in your body — like blood in your stool, ongoing stomach pain, and changes in bowel habits — it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider.

These symptoms can be caused by many different conditions, but they shouldn’t be ignored. And remember — screening can help detect colon cancer early, before symptoms appear.

If you’re 50–74, you may be eligible for a free ColonCheck test.
