Jackson-Madison County General Hospital
(Jackson, TN)
The West Tennessee Cancer Center, located in Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, treats over 1,200 adult cancer patients yearly. The Center offers cutting-edge treatment options with the latest in technological equipment.
The Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology Departments strive to meet each patient's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. To assure comprehensive treatment, these professionals work closely with nutritional, psychological, social service, and pastoral care staff as well as physicians.
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.
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.
Meeting the special needs of those patients and their families facing life-limiting illness, Hospice of West Tennessee assures quality of life and provides emotional support. Community Education remains a Cancer Center priority with sponsorship of free cancer screenings and programs reaching thousands yearly.
