What does Tanner Cancer Care offer that the more prestigious cancer providers in Atlanta and Birmingham don’t?

The question is, what do they offer that Tanner doesn’t?

We’re close by, conveniently located in west Georgia, with a host of treatment options, dedicated and experienced cancer specialists and access to the latest cancer treatments — all right here in Carrollton.

Your cancer care options

Cancer care usually involves a combination of treatments, including:

• Surgery – to remove the cancer. At Tanner, we use minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical care to perform the most complicated surgeries safely, with minimal pain and scarring.
• Radiation – Destroying cancer at the cellular level, our radiotherapy options address your cancer in 3-D, impacting the cancer with minimal impact to healthy tissues.
• Chemotherapy – Medications can turn your body against the cancer, helping you fight cancer on your own terms. Our chemotherapy and immunotherapy options — along with our access to clinical trials — puts you on the leading edge of beating cancer on your own terms.

In addition, as a regional health system, we give you additional resources to fight cancer, surpassing Georgia’s most prestigious cancer providers, including:

• Spiritual help – We connect you with our own chaplains and local clergy to support you through prayer and scripture.
• Nutrition support – What you put into your body determines what you’ll get out of it. Our diet scientists will help you find and prepare the foods that will appeal to your evolving palate and help put your cancer on its heels.
• Mental health – Cancer treatment impacts your personal relationships, changes your perspective on life and leaves you with lots of questions. Our therapists, counselors and psychiatrists help you with these questions and support you through treatment, recovery and beyond.
• Emergency care – We plan for the unexpected. Our  unified health record means unexpected medical emergencies will be met with treatments commiserate with your treatment plan. Your emergency care providers will offer an unprecedented level of support in line with your agreed-upon treatment protocol.
• Palliative care – At Tanner, we understand that sometimes the best approach to cancer is the alleviation of pain. We have a progressive, advanced palliative care program to keep you comfortable even as you continue your cancer battle.
