Infectious Diseases
Because “cancer” refers to a class of diseases, it is unlikely that there will ever be a single “cure for cancer” any more than there will be a single treatment for all infectious diseases.Angiogenesis inhibitors were once thought to have potential as a “silver bullet” treatment applicable to many types of cancer, but this has not been the case in practice.

Internal Medicine
Anthony M. Landis, DO earned his medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed post-graduate training in Internal Medicine at Wilmington Medical Center (Wilmington, Delaware). At the Emory University School of Medicine (Atlanta, Georgia), Dr. Landis received a fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology.
Bladder Cancer
Cancer immunotherapy refers to a diverse set of therapeutic strategies designed to induce the patient’s own immune system to fight the tumor. Contemporary methods for generating an immune response against tumours include intravesical BCG immunotherapy for superficial bladder cancer, and use of interferons and other cytokines to induce an immune response in renal cell carcinoma and melanoma patients.
Cancer Care
Today, SHOA is comprised of nine board certified physicians and three locations throughout Gwinnett County. In the fall 2012 SHOA and Gwinnett Medical Center (GMC) announced the creation of an integrated care network that provides the residents of Gwinnett and surrounding communities with oncology and hematology-related services. The infusion center at SHOA was named the Center for Cancer Care, a service of Gwinnett Medical Center. This close relationship allows SHOA and GMC to deliver a seamless continuum of care for the community.

X-Rays
Chemotherapy
Complete removal of the cancer without damage to the rest of the body (that is, achieving cure with near-zero adverse effects) is the ideal, if rarely achieved, goal of treatment and is often the goal in practice. Sometimes this can be accomplished by surgery, but the propensity of cancers to invade adjacent tissue or to spread to distant sites by microscopic metastasis often limits its effectiveness; and chemotherapy and radiotherapy can have a negative effect on normal cells. Therefore, cure with nonnegligible adverse effects may be accepted as a practical goal in some cases; and besides curative intent, practical goals of therapy can also include suppressing the cancer to a subclinical state and maintaining that state for years of good quality of life (that is, treating the cancer as a chronic disease), and palliative care without curative intent (for advanced-stage metastatic cancers).
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy, X-ray therapy, or irradiation) is the use of ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors by damaging their DNA (the molecules inside cells that carry genetic information and pass it from one generation to the next), making it impossible for these cells to continue to grow and divide.
Radiation Oncology
You will need to check in with the front desk each visit, so that we may verify that you have not had any changes since your last visit (i.e. address, phone number, insurance, etc.)
