๐ฃ NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR LUNG CANCER DETECTION ๐ฃ
Baptist Anderson performed its first lung biopsy using Ion technology today! Lung cancer often goes undiagnosed because patients don't experience any symptoms until the cancer is very advanced. Ion technology enables doctors to get early answers so patients can begin treatment sooner.โ Ionโs ultrathin, ultra-maneuverable catheter allows the doctor to reach small lesions in all 18 segments of the lung with more reach, precision, and stability. If you're a current or former smoker between the ages of 50-80, it's time for a lung screening! Call 601-485-5081 for more information.
