Cancer and blood disorders require more than just "state-of-the-art" care — they demand "state-of-the-heart" care. When you're diagnosed and treated for cancer or blood disorders at Gundersen Lutheran, we begin a journey together — our family and yours. Our family includes a team of specialists specifically trained in cancer and blood disorder care. All these hands link to guide your course of treatment through a team approach that makes us unique among our peers.
Gundersen Lutheran Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders Providers
Gundersen Lutheran's interdisciplinary care team provides more than the best medical care and the latest technology.
Through their interdisciplinary, patient-centered approach, our specialists balance innovative treatment with individual needs. They know cancer and blood disorder's invasion is personal, not just physical. It affects self-esteem, emotions, nutrition, finances and relationships as surely as it changes cells. As they give support beyond the bounds of medicine, our providers and other professionals offer hope ... listen with respect ... answer questions honestly ... explain in understandable terms ... consider all options ... protect privacy ... and preserve dignity throughout diagnosis and treatment.
Our patients have access to investigational treatments available at major medical centers throughout the United States. Last year, more than 165 of the most promising clinical trial protocols were offered through our departments of adult and pediatric hematology/oncology, and radiation oncology. While patients in many areas must leave home for days or weeks, ours receive leading-edge care close to their homes.
