In April 1963, Dr. Henrietta Banting found out that her mammography study was to be funded by the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation (OCTRF). Dr. Banting sent a letter to the OCTRF thanking them for the funding. She also writes “We have already begun the project and it appears to be yielding some interesting and useful results.”
