Medical Oncology

If you are experiencing a blood disorder, cancer of the blood, anemia or an immunodeficiency problem, our health care team at the UAMS Medical Oncology Clinic can provide you with a diagnosis, therapy and compassionate care.

The clinic sees patients with any cancer requiring chemotherapy or another form of infusion, including:

• Breast cancer
• Lung cancer
• Melanoma
• Gastrointestinal malignancies
• Leukemia
• Lymphoma
• Urology cancers

You will be provided with primary cancer treatment and continuous follow-up. Second opinions are available for both inpatient and outpatients.

The multidisciplinary approach to health care, which includes input from caring specialists in many different areas, is the standard for our clinics in the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute.

Depending on your condition, you may be eligible to participate in research clinical trials, which offer new and innovative treatments not available elsewhere in Arkansas.

Children at the Cancer Institute

For the health of your child and the safety of our patients, we ask that children age 12 and younger remain on the first floor in the lobby or café.

We realize that this may be a challenge for patients without childcare options. If you must bring your child, please visit the Welcome Desk when you arrive and they will assist you in finding an appropriate and safe place to wait with your child.
