• Colon Cancer
  Staging of cancer is becoming an important use of EUS. The prognosis of a cancer victim is related to the stage of the cancer at the time of cancer detection. For example, early stage colon cancer refers to cancer confined to the inner surface of the colon before it is spread to adjacent tissues or distant organs. Therefore early stage colon cancer can be completely resected with good chances for cure. However, if cancer is detected at later stages, the cancer tissues have already penetrated the colon wall and invaded neighboring organs and lymph nodes, or have spread to distant organs such as liver and lungs. Complete surgical excision becomes highly unlikely. EUS can provide information regarding the depth of penetration of the cancer and spread of cancer to adjacent tissues and lymph nodes, information useful for staging.
• Endoscopy
  Came here for an endoscopy with Dr. Shaver and had a great experience. Was checked in quickly and the staff was very polite and professional. I did have to wait a little while once I was taken back but once everything got rolling I went into the procedure and was out in under 30 minutes. Dr. Shaver is very personable and is a great doctor! Overall I would give this place 5 stars!
