34-foot mobile mammography unit launched by University of Missouri Health Care for early breast cancer detection in rural areas.

The University of Missouri Health Care has launched a new 34-foot mobile mammography unit, replacing an older van from 2016. This unit will bring advanced 3D mammography technology to rural areas in Missouri, aiming to increase early breast cancer detection among women lacking local access to screenings. The initiative, which began in 1992, is expected to improve patient outcomes, as early detection can reduce breast cancer mortality by 60%.
