Cancer Care at Northside Hospital Cancer Institute: What to Expect

We emphasize care as much as cancer treatment — because you deserve complete support for mind and body that best fits you. 

For your clinical care, we offer the largest community cancer team in the state of Georgia, including medical oncologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, pathologists, oncology nurse navigators and clinical research nurses. You don’t need to travel far to get world-class cancer expertise, treatments, technologies and clinical trials.

But we also respect the incredible power of human connections. At Northside, you’ll find caring, dedicated cancer experts who artfully blend advanced medical science with human kindness and respect. 

A Total Team: Fighting Cancer Together, With Heart

Collaboration is the very fabric that makes Northside oncology care special. You benefit from the collective wisdom of more than just your primary oncology physicians and nurses. Our multidisciplinary cancer team meets weekly, bringing specialists together to create an evidence-based plan of care specifically designed to support you and your loved ones. 

Our team also includes support services specialists in:    

• Oncology nutrition, to ensure you’re getting the optimal diet to fuel your body.
• Oncology social work, to offer you mental, social and spiritual support. 
• Oncology rehabilitation, to help you build function, strength and endurance throughout treatment and survivorship.
• Cancer genetics, to provide education, counseling and testing regarding personal and family cancer risks. 

Other support systems are available to you as well, such as our:

• Network of Hope, our volunteer program that connects mentors with cancer survivors going through treatment. 
• A Wellness Place, where you can find experienced staff and specialized products to help you look and feel your best during treatment.  
• Financial assistance team, who can help you through the financial process, including identifying financial resources.

No matter your cancer diagnosis, we’re here to help you through every aspect of it. At Northside, our unwavering focus is on you.
