CANSA in the Eastern Cape has purchased the province’s first portable FotoFinder mole analyser worth just over R200 000.
Port Elizabeth - The Cancer Association of South Africa Care Centre in the Eastern Cape has purchased the province’s first portable FotoFinder mole analyser worth just over R200 000.
“This is a powerful new tool in the fight against cancer in the Eastern Cape. According to the World Health Organisation, one in every three cancers diagnosed globally is skin cancer,” said Gavin Kester, CANSA’s divisional manager for the Eastern Cape. Kester said one of the misperceptions about skin cancer is that people with darker skins were immune.
Eastern Cape Health Spokesman, Lwandile Sicwetsha thanked all walkers who he said enabled CANSA care centre to buy equipment for screening.
