Diagnosing and Treating Virtually Every Type and Stage of Cancer

The Center’s physicians and staff members offer the following services:  

• Brain cancer. Neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, radiation oncologists and other caregivers deliver responsive, coordinated care for tumors of the brain or spinal column or neurological complications of cancer. They rely on advanced diagnostic equipment, including single photon computed tomography (SPECT) and stereotactic biopsy, to diagnose tumors in hard-to-reach areas of the brain. Surgical options include traditional surgery and Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for inoperable tumors.

• Breast cancer. Georgia Regents Medical Center’s dedicated Breast Health Center’s treatment teams include oncologists, breast radiologists and breast and reconstructive surgeons. The Center also offers a certified breast health navigator and a weekly clinic for women who’ve had suspicious test results.
