Hematology and medical oncology focus on treating and managing blood disorders and cancers using systemic therapies, such as:
- Chemotherapy: Uses powerful drugs to target and kill cancer cells.
- Targeted therapy: Attacks specific cancer cell proteins or genes.
- Immunotherapy: Boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer.

Histotripsy is a new, innovative treatment option that uses focused ultrasound waves to precisely destroy cancer cells in the liver without needles or incisions.
NGMC Gainesville is the only hospital in the state of Georgia to offer histotripsy for liver tumor treatment.
