A multidisciplinary group of physicians attends weekly Tumor Board meetings to discuss patient treatments. Tumor Registry, another educational resource, assists physicians with their analyses of cancer therapies and subsequent outcomes.

Located in Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, the Cancer Center works cohesively with the Surgery and Radiology Departments where surgical procedures, stereotactic biopsies, bone scans, CT scans, MRIs, and mammographies are routinely performed. Research trials are available to eligible patients as well.
