Kenyans can now receive early diagnosis for prostate cancer and better treatment after the Aga Khan University Hospital started conducting the PET-CT Scan. He is the section head of PET CT at the AKUH in Nairobi. Nguku said the scan can identify sites of early prostate cancer spread before they are picked up by conventional imaging modalities.
