Medicor opened in 2006 based on the vision of Dr Akbar Khan, who felt strongly that the government-funded health system was inadequate to meet the needs of cancer patients. At first, the focus of Medicor was to provide personalised integrative supportive services to Ontario patients and outsource advanced cancer treatments to specialised centres outside Canada. By 2007 Dr Khan changed the focus to in-house integrative non-toxic cancer therapy (allopathic + naturopathic) based on requests from Medicor patients.
Dr Khan gained international recognition for his pioneering clinical work using off-label dichloroacetate in patients with cancer. Over the years, various additional gentle yet powerful cancer therapies have been added, such as dimethylsulfoxide, Dr Ken Matsumura’s SEF chemotherapy and low dose naltrexone.
In 2015 the focus was broadened to include cancer prevention in addition to cancer treatment, since prevention is the single most effective method of combating cancer. This service was badly needed since the medical system seemed to give little emphasis to effective prevention methods that work for all cancer types.
Finally in 2018, Medicor expanded its role in cancer prevention to include treatment of conditions that predispose to cancer, such as inflammatory and auto-immune diseases. The addition of the bio-oxidative therapy program (based on medical ozone therapy) has allowed a much more effective attack on cancer and many non-cancer conditions that are based on disordered metabolism within the body.
Akbar Khan is the founder and Medical Director of Medicor Cancer Centres. Dr Khan has always been active and innovative in the field of cancer care. He co-founded P.A.L.I.N., a registered charitable corporation which addressed the needs of cancer patients requiring at-home symptom control and enhanced quality of life. Working as the co-director of this charity gave him the opportunity to develop a range of unique services.
