Cancer Care Center

In 1987, Central Mississippi Medical Center began providing radiation oncology and diagnostic services to community residents. CMMC was the first hospital in Mississippi to offer safer radiation therapy treatments including: X-knife radiosurgery and the state's only remote high dose rate afterloading brachytherapy. Other non-invasive procedures include radioactive implants such as palladium seed implants to treat prostate cancer and endocavitary implants.
