This is the first facility in the state to use the technology. 

“Early detection plays such a critical role in detecting and beating colon cancer,” John Bassett, MD, a Sanford Health gastroenterologist at the Sanford Center for Digestive Health, told Valley News Live. “Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the United States, but it doesn’t have to be. This new technology can help detect colorectal cancer early when treatments are most effective.”

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
