CBC -- Hundreds of skin cancer patients received the wrong dose of radiation over a three-year period due to a calculation error programmed into one of the radiation units at the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre. The 326 patients received a dose of as much as 17 per cent less than the prescribed dose while being treated between November 2004 and November 2007 for basal and squamous cell carcinomas, the Ottawa Hospital said in a news release Monday.
