The University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center has

the largest Gynecologic Oncology program in Wisconsin,

offering patients state-of-the-art care in the diagnosis

and treatment of gynecologic cancer. Our gynecologic

oncologists see more than 400 patients annually with

common as well as rare gynecologic cancers including:

• Cervical

• Gestational trophoblastic

disease

• Leiomyosarcoma

• Mixed mullerian tumors

• Ovarian

• Pseudomyxoma peritonei

• Uterine

• Vaginal

Patients diagnosed with any of these gynecologic cancers

are seen in our multidisciplinary clinic by a team of

gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation

oncologists, genetic counselors and health psychologists.

Each patient is individually evaluated and treatment is

tailored to each patient’s needs. In addition to treatment,

the UW Carbone Cancer Center is committed to improving a

woman’s quality of life and minimizing side effects while she

undergoes therapy.

Our gynecologic oncologists work collaboratively with

regional medical oncologists regarding chemotherapy

treatments, keeping patients close to home for therapy

whenever possible.
