Breast cancer is the leading cancer in terms of incidence and mortality among women in Ghana.
Getting a mammogram in Ghana is next to impossible. Little advanced medical care is available there, and many women don't know about the test and wouldn't have access to it if they did. As a result, breast cancer in Ghanaian women usually goes undetected until it is in advanced stages.
By providing access to the detection of early-stage tumors, mobile mammography services can help to prevent advanced-stage malignancies in vulnerable populations.
Screening mammography has been shown to be associated with decreased mortality from breast cancer.
