Suddenly plunged into a world of unfamiliar medical terms, tests and treatments, cancer patients and their families may feel overwhelmed. Knowing what to expect can help patients regain control of their lives.  This means understanding cancer, its tests and treatments, and the facility that provides for their care.

North Mississippi Medical Center's Cancer Center uses a multidisciplinary approach to treat cancer.  Our physicians, nurses and support staff work together as a team and actively involve patients and family members in cancer care.

Members of the NMMC cancer team are dedicated to making sure that all treatment options are clearly understood, and every measure is taken to offer the highest level of cancer care available.  They not only search for new ways to advance cancer care, but listen and understand the individual concerns of every patient.

Each team member is also dedicated to enhancing his expertise as well as remaining on the leading edge of new developments in cancer care.  Our physicians know that by implementing the latest treatments in cancer care, we can offer additional ways for patients to beat their disease and increase their chance of recovery.
    

Affiliations with the National Cancer Institute and Mayo Medical Laboratories not only offer patients progressive approaches in the fight against cancer, but also opportunities to participate in research programs and clinical trials believing that our participation can help detect better ways to prevent, diagnose, control, treat and most importantly, cure cancer.

Cancer is so limited...
