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 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
