Early detection by appropriate colon screening tests can detect and even remove benign polyps and early cancers.
Proactive, Advanced Breast Care
At Avera McKennan Breast Care Center we have better ways of detecting breast cancer, thanks to the most advanced diagnostic breast imaging in the region, including:
- The first 3 Tesla MRI
- The first digital mammography in the area
- 3D/4D Ultrasounds
- Minimally-invasive Stereotactic Breast Biopsy system
In addition, our team of experts meet to review and discuss every new breast cancer diagnosis each week to ensure accurate and confident diagnosis and individualized treatment to your specific needs - before any steps are taken.
