Treating the mind, body and spirit together is essential in overcoming the disease, and at Forsyth Regional Cancer Center, we offer a variety treatments and support services to help accomplish this goal.
Multidisciplinary Cancer Clinics
For people newly diagnosed with breast, prostate or lung cancer, we offer a special Clinic where your specific case is reviewed by a team of specialists to develop the best treatment plan for your cancer.
Treatment Methods
There are two main categories of treatment for cancer patients, either local or systemic. Local treatments, such as surgery and radiation therapies, are used to remove, destroy or control the cancer cells in a specific area. To destroy or control cancer cells throughout the body, oncologists use systemic treatments such as chemotherapy and hormonal therapy.
The surgical oncologists on staff at Forsyth Regional Cancer Center are experienced with the sophisticated surgical techniques needed to provide you with the best treatment.
Treatments in the Medical Oncology realm include chemotherapy, biological therapy and hormonal therapy.
Radiation Oncology treatments include radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, and brachytherapy.
Forsyth's approach to cancer treatment not only combines traditional therapies such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, but we also recognize the importance of newer treatments such as biological therapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Latest Treatment Options
Research is a very powerful tool in finding a cure for cancer. Some Cancer Center patients are eligible to participate in clinical research trials involving the most advanced treatment options available today.
Combining Treatment Methods for the Best Result
Our approach is holistic, not only treating the disease with medicine, but also combining nutritional, physical, psychological and spiritual therapies to positively impact the patient's quality of life.
Our team of cancer specialists develop individualized plans that encompass the latest treatments to ensure the best possible outcome. The various options may be used alone or in combination, and different forms of treatment may be given at the same time or one after another.
