⚠️ It’s a radioactive gas that seeps from the ground or well water into homes and businesses.
⚠️ The entire state of Iowa is considered high risk for radon by the Environmental Protection Agency.

In 2020, Sharon — a Waterloo nurse who had spent years caring for patients after lung surgery — found herself on the receiving end of care when a screening test detected early-stage lung cancer.

She turned to our cardiothoracic surgery teams, who performed a robotic-assisted procedure to remove part of her lung and nearby lymph nodes. Thanks to the minimally invasive approach, Sharon was able to go home just three days later.

Today, five years later, her cancer has not returned. Sharon is considered cured. 💛 Read her story at the link in the comments.

James Byrne, MD, PhD, and his team have developed a tiny but powerful device that could change the way certain bladder cancers are treated. 🩺✨

The drug-releasing intravesical floating technology, or DRIFT, device is about the size of a dime and gently floats in the bladder and releases chemotherapy on a controlled schedule. This could mean fewer long clinic visits, less invasive procedures, and even the possibility for patients to remove the device themselves once treatment is done.
