The hospital already has PAP smear facilities for cervical cancer screening. With the addition of this machine, breast cancer screening services will now also be available. He further stated that a delay in detecting breast cancer often makes treatment more difficult and, in some cases, life-threatening. With the help of this machine, early diagnosis and timely treatment can be ensured. Dr Sangeeta Gupta, hospital director, said that with the availability of this machine, early detection of breast cancer will become possible.
