When you receive news that cancer has entered your life, you will want only the most experienced cancer specialists and advanced cancer services on your side. You’ll look for definitive answers, successful cancer treatment programs that have received national accreditation, and advanced technology that is leading the charge against this devastating disease.
Aurora’s cancer service experts put you first in the fight with a philosophy of patient-centered care. A multi-disciplinary, integrated team works with you from day one - treating you at Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinics throughout the state of Wisconsin.
Aurora created the first Genetic Counseling Center in Wisconsin and was also the first in the state to introduce Gamma Knife and CyberKnife radiosurgery treatment therapies in their cancer services program. With start-up funds from the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation, disease-specific coordinators, or Cancer Nurse Navigators, are also available for breast, lung, colorectal and prostate cancers. The nurse navigator's role is to serve as a patient/family advocate, coordinator of care, educator, and partner throughout the cancer journey from diagnosis, treatment, survivorship and end-of-life care.
With Aurora and the Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinics on your side, you can access more than 70 active cancer clinical trials at locations convenient to you. Plus, their medical oncology group offers you more than 30 fellowship-trained physicians who will customize a cancer treatment plan for you - for the best possible outcome.
