The Division of Surgical Oncology has a long-standing commitment to excellence
in research, education and patient care. As among the most recognized Divisions
of Surgical Oncology in the country, the faculty members have broad clinical
and research interests. The strength of the commitment to outstanding academic
achievement is reflected in the three endowed professorships in this division.
The Division of Surgical Oncology's mission is to improve the care of patients
with cancer by providing the very best surgical care. The Division's surgeons
do this by taking a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care. Investigators in
the Division have sought to generate new knowledge through innovative basic
science, translational and clinical research.
Furthermore, the Division of Surgical Oncology is at the forefront of new
treatments and technologies for cancer patients. The Division is committed to a
program of life-long learning that starts with students and residents and
extends to educational programs that teach new concepts and skills to
practicing physicians. Our close collaborations with the James Graham Brown
Cancer Center, University of Louisville Hospital, Jewish Hospital and Norton
Cancer Care have allowed the Division of Surgical Oncology faculty members to
achieve national and international prominence while striving to improve the
care of patients with cancer.
