NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tennessee Oncology, a nationally recognized independent oncology practice that treats half of the state's cancer patients across 35 clinics, announced it has acquired the Nashville Breast Center, a premier facility dedicated to comprehensive breast health with physicians who have provided expert, individualized and compassionate breast health and breast cancer care to patients in Nashville for more than 20 years.

Laura L Lawson, MD, who helped develop the Ascension St. Thomas Breast Cancer Program and served as its Medical Director for over a decade, Eduardo C. Dias, MD, who is also an Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and four advanced practice providers will continue treating patients at their facility in the Midtown Medical Plaza building, 2004 Hayes Street, Suite 310.

The practice, which offers a range of advanced diagnostic and treatment services tailored to address the unique needs of each patient, will keep its name.
