Cancer Awareness Overview
Advances in Medical Equipment has made the treatment of cancer a safer journey because of improved precision, less side effects, use of Artificial Intelligence, advanced imaging and target delivery systems, and data analytics to determine treatment strategy.
All together it helps reduce hospital stays and shorter recovery times.
