Around Fox Chase

On the afternoon of October 28, 2024, Fox Chase Cancer Center unveiled the latest iteration of its Mobile Screening Unit (MSU), which has evolved over nearly four decades to become a cancer research center on wheels. The MSU is dedicated to screening and outreach in Philadelphia and its surrounding counties, as well as parts of New Jersey. Bigger than a SEPTA bus, the unit is now expanding its capabilities to include new services as well as support for cancer science and population studies.
