Colon cancer is preventable

The most important step toward preventing colon cancer is to get a screening test. Any abnormal screening test should be followed by a colonoscopy which provides a detailed examination of the bowel. Polyps can be identified and can often be removed during colonoscopy. And though not definitely proven, there is some evidence that diet may play a significant role in preventing colorectal cancer. As far as we know, a high fiber, low fat diet is the only dietary measure that might help prevent colorectal cancer.

About ASC
.... A Passion for Prevention
.... a Commitment to Cure

Advanced Specialty Care is a team of health care providers devoted to delivering compassionate, sophisticated, minimally invasive medical and surgical care. Our philosophy is centered on the idea that modern surgeons can best provide care in areas of special interest within general surgery. Each surgeon at ASC therefore "specializes" within general surgery to provide patients with the most up to date treatment for problems such as heartburn, obesity, endocrinological tumors, colon and rectal disorders, varicose veins and breast cancer. This flexible and inquisitive approach to patient care often leads ASC to be the first to introduce new technology to residents of Central Oregon. But it is not simply to fulfill a quest to be first. Our approach is based on what works best for our patients. This website will introduce you to our doctors and their areas of special interest.
