Thursday, Aug. 1, is World Lung Cancer Day. The Northside Hospital Cancer Institute Lung Cancer Program is among the top lung cancer care providers in Georgia. Dr. Lee Gerson, a board-certified physician in thoracic and general surgery, said taking good care of cancer patients requires an organized and comprehensive team that covers more than just surgery and chemotherapy. "The Northside Hospital Cancer Institute has clearly put a lot of thought into creating a program that provides support and guidance at every step along the road to treatment and recovery," Dr. Gerson said. "This commitment to excellent care for the thoracic oncology patient was immediately apparent when I first interviewed for this position. "I wanted to join the team because it is a tremendous comfort to know that my patients' every need will be addressed beyond what I can provide as a surgeon."
