A major centre which will carry out groundbreaking trials of the latest treatment for critically ill cancer patients is to be based in Brighton.
Experts say the Experimental Cancer Medical Centre will benefit patients in Sussex and put Brighton at the forefront of cancer research.
Patients taking part in these early trials cannot usually be helped by existing treatments, such as conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
The Canadian Red Cross will review the status of one of its board members after critics called for the Montrealer to be dumped from the humanitarian organization because of her connection to the asbestos industry.
The governing body of the Red Cross is tackling the sensitive topic of the private interests of Roshi Chadha at its January meeting, Postmedia News has confirmed.
Chadha is an executive of Montreal-based Seja Trade Ltd., a subsidiary of Balcorp Ltd. that has for years exported asbestos from the open-pit Jeffrey asbestos mine in Quebec to India. Her husband, Baljit Singh Chadha, is seeking to revive the Quebec asbestos industry as the president of Balcorp.
