Novant Health Weisiger Cancer Institute

Former nurse Agnes Bidner Weisiger is dedicated to improving patient outcomes, even in retirement. That much is evidenced in her namesake, the Novant Health Weisiger Cancer Institute. The 260,000-square-foot facility rethinks care on every level, providing advanced and comprehensive oncology services to patients who need it most.

The Novant Health Weisiger Cancer Institute offers high-level radiation treatment technologies, including:

Since every patient is unique, not all individuals benefit from radiotherapy. To determine if radiation could be effective in treating your specific cancer type and stage, schedule a consultation with a SERO provider by calling 704-333-7376 or completing this form. A representative from your preferred SERO location will reach out shortly.

If you feel alone in the days and weeks following a cancer diagnosis, remember that you have a team of pathologists, nurses, oncologists, and other professionals in your corner. Your cancer care team is wholly dedicated to your recovery and will work diligently to provide the high-quality care you deserve.

The first step after a cancer diagnosis is to chart a cancer treatment plan. This plan is a written roadmap to recovery, detailing the most effective treatment modalities for attacking your cancer and helping you regain control of your health. 

Most oncology patients receive some combination of surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. If doctors determine that radiotherapy is appropriate, you can expect to receive radiation five days per week for five to eight weeks at a time. These sessions are relatively painless, though they may cause mild side effects like fatigue and nausea.
