Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Phoenix Incorporates Artificial Intelligence System for Enhanced Colonoscopy Screenings

Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) Phoenix is the first hospital in the western half of the U.S. and the first hospital in Arizona to utilize GI Genius – a powerful ally in the fight against colorectal cancer that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to help physicians detect polyps.
The GI Genius module uses advanced AI software to highlight suspicious polyps with a visual marker in real time—serving as the gastroenterologist’s ever-vigilant second observer with a sensitivity rate per lesion of 99.7%.1 Studies have shown that AI-assisted colonoscopy can increase polyp detection rates, and every 1% increase in adenoma detection rate reduces the risk of colorectal cancer by 3%.2,3 Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer diagnosed in the U.S., with almost 150,000 new cases every year.
