Sharlene Gill: Would you do a ‘proactive’ private scan for cancer screening?
Sharlene Gill shared a post on X:
“Ok, I did it and now I’m conflicted…what would you do?
Prenuvo recently opened their only location in Vancouver – whole body MRI scanning for early detection & screening…as an over-50y cancer doc, I know the concerns but was curious so I paid up and did it… Poll below for the X-verse MedTwitter – would you do a ‘proactive’ private scan for cancer screening?”
