The Saskatchewan Cancer agency will install their new digital mammography equipment in the breast cancer mobile unit.
The mobile unit was scheduled to be in Nipawin and Estevan over the next few weeks but equipment difficulties have been redirecting woman to breast cancer screening sites in the province while they install the new digital equipment.

“Digital mammography is quickly becoming the standard of care for breast imaging and has the potential to help detect cancer in its early stages when treatment is the most successful,” Saskatchewan Cancer Agency CEO Scott Livingstone said.
Digital mammography allows the radiologist to magnify images for better viewing of questionable areas in the breast.
The mobile unit should be back in full operation by June.
