(AP) -- COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Busy women in need of a breast cancer screening can schedule late-night and weekend mammograms at Ellis Fischel Cancer Center in Columbia.

The center is holding a mammogram marathon -- or "mammothon" -- on Friday from 6 p.m. to midnight and Saturday from 6 a.m. to noon.

The tests are available by appointment only. Financial assistance is available for those with limited incomes.

Refreshments and door prizes will be provided, and those who schedule a future mammogram at the event will also receive a free gift.
