Liberty Regional Medical Center and the Nancy N. and J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion at St. Joseph’s/Candler have partnered to create a new oncology program to deliver the latest treatments to Liberty County cancer patients. This partnership has resulted in a new Infusion Center in Hinesville and the recruitment of Dr. Bulbul, who serves as the Medical Director for the Oncology Program and who is triple-board certified in Oncology, Hematology and Internal Medicine.
Dr. Bulbul received his undergraduate degrees in medicine and surgery from the University of Jammu in India. Dr. Bulbul completed his medical residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Southern California. He was then accepted to the prestigious USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center for a Hematology and Oncology Fellowship, subsequently graduating as the Chief Hematology Fellow. Nationally, he serves on the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s steering committee for rural Medical Oncology where he works to develop best practices in care.
Our new Oncology program will work collaboratively with the medical staffs at both the Hinesville and Savannah hospitals to build a robust cancer program for the future by using the expertise of local specialists at Liberty Regional and the experience of the programs and expertly trained team at the Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion.
March is National Colorectal Awareness Month!
Colon Cancer is known to be the 2nd deadliest cancer. Nine out of ten cases of colorectal cancer occur in people 50 years of age and older. However, the American Cancer Society recently revised their guidelines to recommend that anyone over the age of 45 receive a screening colonoscopy every 5 to 10 years. Those who are at a higher risk of developing colon or rectal cancer may need to be tested earlier or more often. You may have a higher risk of colon cancer if you have:
· a family history of colorectal polyps and/or cancer
· an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis
· an inherited syndrome, such as Lynch syndrome, that increases your cancer risk
Be sure to consult with your primary care physician for their recommendation for your screening needs now and going forward.
If you are in need of a colonoscopy, please ask your physician to refer you to one of our General Surgeons with Liberty Surgical Associates. Dr. Rebecca Coefield-Floyd and Dr. Christina McCain will perform your procedure with care and expertise.
