Our radiation oncology team works with The Cancer Center at
Northeast Georgia Medical
Center, which is the proud recipient of the Commission on Cancer of
the American College of Surgeons 2006 Outstanding Achievement Award,
given to only 31 facilities nationwide. The Cancer Center also received
the 2007 American Society of Breast Surgeons Mammosite® Registry Award
in recognition of continued participation and outstanding contribution
to the research of breast cancer. We are active in weekly tumor
conferences which is a multi-specialty conference review and discussion
of presented cases. This includes AJC staging and review of NCCN
treatment guidelines for each case. All patients are included in the
Tumor Registry to facilitate accurate follow up and comparison to
regional and national trends and outcomes.
