Cancer Care at Wellstar

People face cancer with confidence at Wellstar because of our multidisciplinary care model, physicians’ expertise and advanced treatments close to home. In fact, we have more than 300 healthcare providers that provide expert cancer care at nine cancer programs with convenient locations across Georgia.

Our multidisciplinary teams surround patients and their families with knowledgeable and compassionate support. Specialty programs for patients are led by physicians with advanced training. Here, patients see leading specialists who are experts in their fields.

Wellstar invests in state-of-the-art technology and participates in clinical trials to give patients access to a variety of advanced treatments including minimally-invasive surgery, high precision radiation dosages by CyberKnife and TrueBeam delivery systems, intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT), Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion (HIPEC) as well as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies based on the latest advances in biomarker testing. Patients who qualify for clinical trials have access to groundbreaking treatments, often years before they are FDA-approved.

Because of Wellstar’s integrated approach to cancer treatment, our programs are nationally recognized by The American College of Surgeons (ACS) Commission on Cancer and the Care Continuum Centers of Excellence (CCCOE), a program of the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer, among others.

 

Identify Cancer Earlier, or Prevent It

At Wellstar, we believe in lowering risk and preventing cancer whenever possible. We offer screening programs and genetic risk assessment to help people understand their unique risk factors and catch cancer before or after symptoms appear with advanced diagnostic technology. When screenings catch cancer in earlier stages, patients can have better outcomes.


Breast cancer screening

Wellstar patients in the communities we serve have access to breast cancer screening. Click to learn more about where to be screened, our screening technology and what to expect when getting a mammogram—or images of the breast—which can help identify signs of cancer before symptoms appear, and can help catch cancer earlier for better outcomes.

Learn more about breast cancer screenings at Wellstar


Lung cancer screening

Patients who qualify have access to low-dose CT scans with low levels of radiation exposure, which help detect lung cancer early. While lung cancer is historically difficult to detect, it is highly curable when found in early stages. Click to learn more about lung cancer screening, such as who should be screened and how to schedule a screening.

Learn more about lung cancer screenings at Wellstar


Colorectal cancer screening

While colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States when men and women are combined, screening can completely prevent cancer by removing polyps found during a colonoscopy. Or, it can catch cancer earlier, which leads to better treatment outcomes. Click to learn about colorectal cancer screening options, and who should be screened.

Genetic risk assessment

People with a family history of cancer including breast and ovarian cancer as well as colon and endometrial cancers may also benefit from a genetic risk assessment and high-risk screening options.

Learn more about the Wellstar Genetic Risk Assessment program

Our Care Team

At Wellstar, patients have access to a personalized multidisciplinary care team who offers you comprehensive care from screening, diagnosis, and second opinions to treatment and support.

Patients have access to board-certified and world-renowned oncology specialists, the largest genetic counseling program in the state, and an incredible network of support for treatment and follow up care that may include nurse navigators, speech and physical therapists, oncology registered dietitians, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and financial counselors.

Leading cancer experts

Medical specialists collaborate with each other to create patient-centered care plans. Our multidisciplinary teams often include board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians who have the most advanced training and knowledge in their fields. Through Wellstar's membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network, our oncology specialists have a direct connection to Mayo Clinic specialists and can request eConsults — virtual second opinions — at no additional cost to the patient. Our specialists include:
  • Medical oncologists
  • Radiation oncologists
  • Breast surgeons
  • Thoracic surgeons
  • Neurosurgeons
  • Ophthalmologists
  • Orthopedists
  • Surgical oncologists
  • Psychiatrists
  • Psychologists
  • Dermatologists
  • Ear, nose & throat specialists
  • Gastroenterologists
  • Colorectal surgeons
  • Urologists
  • Gynecological oncologists
  • Pathologists
  • Medical genetics specialists
  • Palliative care physicians
Nurse navigators
Patients at many Wellstar cancer programs could not imagine care without their nurse navigator. In fact, patients say nurse navigators are a big reason why they can face cancer with confidence. Nurse navigators are registered nurses trained in specific clinical areas and bring a highly personalized level of guidance and support to each patient and family members from initial diagnosis through post-treatment follow up.

Registered oncology dietitians
Our registered dietitians specialize in oncology nutrition to maximize nutritional status before, during and after treatment with nutrition counseling and meal plans, educational programs and tube feeding management.

Oncology social workers
Our oncology social workers focus on strategies to empower and improve the quality of life for people with cancer and their families during treatment and beyond. Support from an oncology social worker can include short-term counseling, groups and connections to psychological therapy. Cancer can affect many different parts of life, and we can help you adjust to your diagnosis and provide guidance and education about how to share that information with your family, friends and community. We also assist patients by connecting you with community resources and helping you navigate financial programs and services that may assist you.

Psychological and psychiatric therapy
It can help patients to cope with the emotional side of cancer and treatment side effects with the support of an oncology psychologist, psychiatrist or counselor. Often, these specialists help people manage pre-existing conditions such as depression and anxiety too.

Psychologists and counselors specializing in cancer work with individuals, couples and families to encourage coping and problem-solving, relaxation, stress reduction and improved well-being. Many people with cancer experience depression, anxiety and fatigue and our psychiatrists assess symptoms and manage medical treatment of these symptoms.

Genetic counselors
Many people find that working with our board-certified genetic counselors can alleviate some of the anxiety associated with a cancer diagnosis. Information is a powerful tool that can help patients understand their disease and participate in treatment, including screening plans, lifestyle changes and medical and surgical options.

Palliative care specialists
Our palliative care physicians are specially trained in complex symptom and pain management for patients with cancer. We work with people throughout their treatment to manage pain as well as symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, nausea, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, stress and any other symptom related to cancer disease and treatment.

Every member of your personalized care team at Wellstar is here to help you face cancer with confidence.

A Recognized Cancer Treatment Leader

Because Wellstar continues to pioneer innovative cancer treatments and technologies to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients, it is accredited and awarded by leading national organizations.

Accredited by the Commission on Cancer, Outstanding Achievement Award Recipient

Wellstar is the recipient of The American College of Surgeons (ACS) Commission on Cancer (CoC) Accreditation and the Outstanding Achievement Award, the highest honor awarded to a cancer program in the United States. The CoC recognized Wellstar as the first Network Cancer Program in Georgia and the fifth in the nation.

Recognized by GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer

Wellstar is designated as a Care Continuum Center of Excellence by the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer. The foundation identifies community hospitals that meet rigorous qualifying criteria and demonstrate collaborative leadership across the lung cancer care continuum. CCCOE recognizes that by meeting their criteria, Wellstar is on par with leading academic and research institutions and provides patients with access to the latest innovations not typically found in community hospitals.

American College of Radiology Commendation in Lung Screening

Wellstar is one of the nation's largest and highest quality lung screening programs, allowing us to detect cancer earlier and customize the best treatment plan for each patient. That's why we are proud to have been designated as a Lung Cancer Screening Center by the American College of Radiology (ACR). When lung cancer is detected at its early stages, the chances of defeating it are higher, and this designation highlights our commitment to providing accurate and safe diagnostic care for our patients.

Cancer Research & Clinical Trials

The Wellstar Research Institute and Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers work closely with select local and national partners to enroll patients in clinical trials, often providing groundbreaking treatments years before FDA approval.

Groundbreaking Clinical Trials in Your Community

When patients qualify, they have access to groundbreaking treatments, procedures and technologies through clinical trials, often years before the FDA approves them. We are typically are involved in 50 trials at any given time, giving our patients access to advanced treatments close to home..

National Partners

The Wellstar Research Institute and Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers work closely with select local and national partners—including NCI (National Cancer Institute) and the Mayo Clinic—to give patients access to the latest clinical trials without leaving their communities..

Track Record of Success

Clinical research programs Wellstar patients have participated in have led to the approval of immunotherapy and targeted therapy for various diseases, most recently for breast cancer, gynecologic cancers, lung cancer and kidney cancer.

Because of clinical trials our patients have participated in, these therapies are now available more widely. Specifically, people with cancer who participate in clinical trials here have helped Wellstar oncology specialists and our partners accomplish the following:
  • First FDA approval for immunotherapy for breast cancer and small cell lung cancer.
  • Immunotherapy treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer for nearly five years before FDA approval.
  • Gynecologic oncology clinical trials for patients in connection with the Mayo Clinic.
  • With Morehouse School of Medicine, joined a network to develop a repository of data and bio-specimens to improve standards of cancer care through new clinical trials, technology, informatics solutions and personalized medicine.
  • Approval of more than 20 medications by the FDA after trials involving Wellstar patients.

Thanks to Our Patients

To face cancer with confidence and to learn more about clinical trials and research at Wellstar Health System and Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers, call (470) 267-1470.

Patients Deserve Leading Treatments

When someone is diagnosed, cancer treatment and care should be delivered by oncology physicians with in-depth training and experience.

Our renowned specialists perform a range of advanced surgeries including minimally-invasive robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery and Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS); Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion (HIPEC); and intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), one of the latest surgical advancements that combines oncological surgery and radiation therapy.

Radiation Therapy

Patients at Wellstar who would benefit from radiation therapy have access to leading experts in radiation oncology, and some of the most sophisticated radiation therapy techniques and technologies available today. Some Wellstar locations now offer intraoperative radiotherapy, an intense radiation therapy performed during surgery.

Medical Oncology

Patients who are treated by a medical oncologist at Wellstar have access to the latest targeted therapies, immunotherapy and chemotherapy to fight cancer. At Wellstar, oncologists offer tailored medicine for the most precise treatments. Several drugs have been developed which target specific genetic abnormalities in the cancer’s DNA. With a set of biomarker tests, DNA sequencing can be performed on the previously biopsied tumor to determine whether one of these targeted therapies might be effective. Through clinical trials at select locations, oncologists can give patients who qualify access to new treatments before they are FDA approved and commercially available.

Integrative Therapies and Rehabilitation

Some Wellstar patients benefit from integrative medicine, which can enhance quality of life for people during cancer treatment and beyond. Some people with cancer require cancer rehabilitation due to changes including speech and swallowing challenges, swelling (lymphedema), fatigue, muscle loss and pain after treatment. Therapists at Wellstar locations across Georgia specialize in areas including speech, lymphedema and pelvic floor rehabilitation to help patients people improve their quality of life.

Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center to Open Comprehensive Cancer Center

Wellstar Health System, one of Georgia’s largest and most integrated healthcare systems, announced yesterday it will open the Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center in early 2023 on the Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center campus in Roswell, Georgia. The Center will also serve as one of only two locations in metro Atlanta featuring state-of-the-art CyberKnife® technology for radiation therapy.

Located at 4500 Hospital Blvd., the Cancer Center will offer comprehensive cancer services, including nationally-recognized, expert and experienced physicians; medical oncology; radiation oncology; imaging and many medical specialties all in one convenient location. Oncology surgery will continue to be performed at Wellstar North Fulton Hospital, on the same campus. 

“Wellstar North Fulton has been delivering expert, compassionate cancer care and support to North Metro Atlanta residents for many years,” said Jon-Paul Croom, president of Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center. “Our expansion of cancer services enables patients to receive the most advanced and robust offering of treatments available to beat cancer – close to home.”

The organization broke ground yesterday on the $12 million expansion project to accommodate cancer services and house Wellstar’s second CyberKnife system, a non-invasive treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors and other conditions where radiation therapy is needed. Wellstar began using the CyberKnife System at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in 2006 to treat conditions throughout the body and can be an alternative to surgery or for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors. CyberKnife can reduce radiotherapy timelines from the traditional eight weeks to as little as one to five days.

“We are committed to providing the best treatment options for our patients and are proud to bring the CyberKnife system to this community,” said Dr. Mark McLaughlin, radiation oncology medical director for Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center. “With this state-of-the-art CyberKnife technology, we can deliver high precision radiation in fewer radiotherapy sessions with the goal of making treatment easier and improving outcomes for patients.”

During the next year, Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center will further enhance cancer services by:

  • Increasing the number of physicians providing medical oncology care.
  • Increasing the physical space in the 4500 Medical Plaza where medical oncologists see patients.
  • Implementing a Head and Neck STAT Clinic in July 2022 that gathers all cancer specialists to meet with the patient on the same day, in the same place, to tailor a treatment plan. The Head and Neck STAT Clinic follows the successful implementation of Wellstar North Fulton’s current Breast and Lung STAT Clinics.

Multi-disciplinary physician experts at Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center include:

  • Dr. Faisal Bhutta, Pulmonologist
  • Dr. Arthur Grigorian, Neurosurgeon
  • Dr. Greg Coffman, General Surgeon
  • Dr. Sachin Lavania, Pulmonologist
  • Dr. Nagender Mankan, Medical Oncologist
  • Dr. Mark McLaughlin, Radiation Oncologist
  • Dr. Satyen Mehta, Medical Oncologist
  • Dr. Scott Miller, Surgical Urologist
  • Dr. Laura Pearson, Breast Surgeon
  • Dr. Theolyn Price, Thoracic Surgeon
  • Dr. Evelyn Reynolds, Gynecological Oncologist
  • Dr. Fiyin Sokoya, Otolaryngologist

Well Starts with Clean Colons

For many people, talking about colon health can be a little uncomfortable. However, medical issues don’t just go away if you ignore them.

Being proactive about your well-being with preventative care can help catch colorectal cancer or another serious condition early, often before it becomes a bigger problem.

Wellstar is committed to keeping your colon healthy with preventative screenings and expert care, so you can continue to live well.

Catch colorectal cancer early

Early detection is the best prevention, especially when it comes to colon cancer. If caught early, colorectal cancer has a survival rate of 91%.

“Colon cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States, so it’s very important that everyone gets screened,” said Dr. Cameron Body, Wellstar gastroenterologist. “For an average risk person, screenings should begin at age 45.”

Those with a higher risk or family history of colorectal cancer may need to start screening even sooner. Talk with your provider to start a screening schedule — and stick with it to stay ahead of the disease.

Schedule your colonoscopy today.

Why colonoscopies work

During a colonoscopy, your physician will view the inside or your colon and look for polyps or any other abnormal tissue that could be cancerous. This preventative testing is key to catching colorectal issues at the start.

“A colonoscopy is the gold standard when screening for colon cancer. The procedure itself is not painful, and we make sure you’re comfortable throughout the process,” Dr. Body said.

“The goal is to do a high-quality exam with a good prep to find polyps when they’re small and get them removed to minimize the risk of them subsequently developing into cancer,” Dr. Body explained.

“For colon cancer, it takes a polyp about five to 15 years to evolve into an invasive cancer,” shared Dr. Carmen Klass, oncologist and hematologist with Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers. “If you have a colonoscopy every five to ten years, they can remove the polyp and it will never be declared an invasive cancer.”

“In fact, if all Americans did their screening colonoscopies every five to ten years, then the death rate for colorectal cancer would drop by 50%,” Dr. Klass shared, urging people not to put off the preventative screening.
