The physicians and staff of GCS sincerely thank Dr. Galleshaw for the professionalism, compassion, and strong work ethic she has always exhibited.
“GCS is truly going to miss Dr. Galleshaw, and we are grateful for all she has brought to our practice in her years with us,” said Dr. J. Bancroft Lesesne, president and interim CEO of GCS. “Through her stellar patient care and commitment to research and innovation, Dr. Galleshaw has shown what it means to be a truly great oncologist.”
“I want everyone at GCS to know what an honor it has been to have you as my partners and friends,” Dr. Galleshaw said. “I have had a very gratifying career here at GCS.”
Dr. Galleshaw’s area of special interest is breast cancer, and her work has consistently reflected that interest. She was the medical honoree at the Susan G. Komen Foundation Ball in 2004, and served on the Board of Directors of the Georgia Cancer Foundation.

The STAR Trial is the largest randomized clinical study of its kind, with 19,000 women taking part.
Dr. Galleshaw plans to enter the physician education field via prIME Oncology, a global organization that specializes in the continuing education of doctors who treat cancer patients.
