The Marylou Whitney and John Hendrickson Cancer Facility for Women (2001)This facility enhances our capabilities in many areas, including the treatment of breast, ovarian, and gynecologic cancers. The Whitney and Hendrickson Cancer Facility for Women is the fourth building constructed by the Markey Cancer Foundation at the UK Markey Cancer Center. The new building houses innovative multi-disciplinary outpatient clinics and programs that are designed to serve women and their families better. Multidisciplinary cancer clinics such as:
These clinics and programs provide innovative approaches to patient care where patients can see all of their specialists in one clinic. If cancer is diagnosed, a team of specialists promptly reviews the patient's case and discusses available treatment options, all in the same day. The Hematology/Oncology Clinic provides treatment for lymphomas, leukemias, and other cancers of the blood and blood-forming tissues, as well as a wide variety of solid and non-solid tumors. The Gynecologic Oncology Service provides women with a full range of cancer care, including screening for cervical and ovarian cancers, and the latest and most effective therapy for gynecologic cancers. "The UK Markey Cancer Center already excels and is recognized nationally in many areas," said Alfred M. Cohen, M.D., director of the UK Markey Cancer Center. "The new Cancer Facility for Women, with new state-of-the-art technology and the multi-disciplinary approach to cancer care, will enhance Markey's ability to provide the best care for our patients."
