Newark, Del.-based ChristianaCare will use a $1 million donation to purchase a radiography system for breast cancer detection at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute, according to an Aug. 31 report from the Delaware Business Times.
The donation will also be put toward supporting a fellowship program focused on reducing disparities in breast and lung cancer — two of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the state, the outlet reported.
With the purchase of a portable radiography unit, pathologists at ChristianaCare's cancer center will be able to process around 25 percent more cases each year using the high-quality imaging the units are equipped to provide.
