General Practitioners

Cryotherapy
A. Once staging is completed, and if the patient is found to have clinically localized prostate cancer, he is counseled regarding his treatment options. These generally include Watchful Waiting, Radical Prostatectomy or Radiation Therapy. Because cryotherapy (freezing) and high-frequency ultrasound (HiFU) are still considered experimental by most clinicians, they will not be considered here.

Urology
“PSA Nadir <0.5 ng/ml Defines Disease Freedom for Surgically Staged Men Irradiated for Prostate Cancer” F.A. Critz, A.K. Levinson, W.H. Williams, D.A. Holladay, C.T. Holladay, V. Griffin, Rapid Communication, Urology, May, 1997
Prostate Cancer
Before your consultation, we recommend you first learn the basics of prostate cancer, including terms used in describing the disease, types of treatment and potential side effects. This information is available on our website here.
Cancer Care
Lung Cancer
A. When men choose a prostate cancer treatment there are many factors to consider, not only cure rates but also side effects including lifestyle changes brought about by treatment. Even if a cancer’s treatment causes major lifestyle changes—witness rectal cancer requiring a permanent colostomy, or lung cancer requiring removal of an entire lung—if that is the only route for cure people will take it and accept the consequences. By the same token, if prostate cancer killed folks rapidly but could only be cured with a procedure that caused incontinence and impotence in 100% of patients, patients would still likely accept these complications and be treated, because it would be the only way to save their lives.

Thyroid Cancer
"After my husband entered emergency at Northside Hospital on April 4, 2012, Dr. Williams invested himself in the challenge to control severe hemmorhaging found to be complications from metatastis of thyroid cancer in the Great veins leading to left lung. He served as advocate for my husband with team of doctors to study his case while my husband was placed on respirator in a medically induced coma. After surviving and recovery from an extremely serious surgery to remove left lung, along with the cancer and repair to support heart..........Dr. Williams has remained an integral medical advisor for my husbands care. He established a protocol for stereotactic radiation to remaining lung and then when vision problems revealed places in brain. He has guided us to the Mayo Clinic and Proton Therapy Center for treatment to the place in the eye, where the treatment might eradicate the cancer but still preserve the retina. scans are being done on regular cycle and have shown improvement each time. We are grateful for the wealth of knowledge Dr. Williams possesses and his care and consideration given to my husband and our family. Highly dedicated doctor and wonderful person."

Ultrasound
A. If something suspicious is found, you may be referred for additional tests including close-up x-rays and/or ultrasound (sonography). A breast biopsy also may be recommended. Thanks to new advances in biopsy techniques, for most women, the biopsy is a relatively painless outpatient procedure done with a needle under local anesthesia. Samples of the breast tissue are taken and examined under a microscope for cancer cells. In most instances — 80 percent of the time — breast biopsies indicate that the breast lumps are benign tumors or other non-cancerous masses. These lumps could be the result of connective tissue, fibrocystic growths or scar tissue from past injuries. These growths are called “benign tumors” because they do not spread to other organs and are not life threatening. In the other 20 percent of cases, if the biopsy confirms cancer, or if cells are suspicious for cancer, the cancer in the breast will need treatment.
Radiology
A. Yes. Our doctors analyzed and presented their follow-up results--included as part of a larger group--at several national and international meetings, including the American Society for Clinical Oncology, the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology and at the prestigious European Conference on Strategies and Outcomes in Cancer among others. This study represented the largest series of patients reported in the literature from any community center in the United States. At the 10-year follow-up mark, 92 percent of patients were free from local recurrence.
X-Rays
Mammography
A. A mammogram is a special type of x-ray used to create detailed pictures of the breast. The x-ray dose is very low, and the system is designed specifically for imaging the breasts. This simple x-ray does require pressure on the breast, which may cause discomfort for several seconds. However, this "annual discomfort" could save your life. Because screening mammography can detect 85 percent of breast cancers, including tumors too tiny to be felt, this non-invasive procedure is one of the best tests for early detection. However, because 10 to 15 percent of breast cancers do not show up on a mammogram, regular self-exams and physician visits are still important.
Computed Tomography
A. Following a breast cancer diagnosis, the cancerous lump needs to be removed, and in most cases, the lymph glands under the arm are removed and tested for cancer spread. Frequently, additional tests to look for cancer in other parts of the body, like bone scans, x-rays or CT scans may be ordered as well. The results of these diagnostic procedures are used to stage the cancer.
Chemotherapy
Breast Conservation Therapy (BCT) — Lumpectomy followed by Breast Irradiation, is shown above. In BCT, the surgeon removes tumor growth and the rim of tissue around the tumor. The tissue is then analyzed to make sure all the cancer cells are gone. Several weeks later, or following chemotherapy if prescribed...
Radiation Therapy
Head and Neck Cancer, with the use of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) using RapidARC VMAT therapy
Radiation Oncology
It is a simple phrase that cannot be stated often enough: Research drives progress in cancer treatment. Since medical school and residency training Dr. Hamilton William s of Radiation Oncology of Atlanta has dedicated himself to cancer research, both clinical and protocol-based, and continues to do so today.
