Research Locations

Northside Hospital Cancer Institute and Georgia Cancer Specialists offer Phase I through IV clinical research trials. Our Phase I program includes novel “first in human” trials. We offer community-based medical oncology and hematology services and we also provide a full range of support services for patients in Georgia, including imaging services, retail pharmacy, nutritional counseling and wellness counseling.

Seven dedicated research clinics are located in geographically distinct practice areas. Our clinical trials are conducted at our Marietta, Northside (North Atlanta), Decatur, Blairsville, Macon, Athens and Canton (Forsyth) offices. Because of our strong commitment to research, we are affiliated with the University of Alabama-Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center (UABCCC), making it possible to bring leading-edge cancer care to our patients.
