When you choose UAB for your gynecologic cancer and breast cancer care, you’re choosing a team of dedicated medical professionals whose goal is to provide you with compassionate care in a private, personal environment.

Gynecologic Cancer
The UAB Division of Gynecologic Oncology is a multidisciplinary team of specialty physicians, nurses and consultants providing comprehensive, compassionate care for women with gynecologic cancers.

UAB is nationally regarded for our care of patients affected by gynecologic cancers. We have been recognized as one of the leading gynecologic oncology research divisions in the world.

Breast Cancer
The UAB Breast Health Center is a leader in breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and research. With a multi-team approach to caring for patients battling breast cancer, the UAB Breast Health Center provides state-of-the-art treatment options and follow-up care.

Our Interdisciplinary Breast Cancer Clinic provides access to a team of dedicated specialists, including a medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, surgical oncologist and radiologist, all working to give you the best treatment possible. You will also have access to physical therapy, plastic surgery and pathology. We provide patient support services aimed at not only treating, but educating and comforting you through your care.

The Interdisciplinary Breast Cancer Clinic lets patients and their families meet with our team of specialists all at once, rather than spreading the meetings out over an eight to 12 week period. This eliminates some of the stress involved in cancer treatment for new patients. In addition, we offer support services, including turnaround mammography and pathology appraisals, as well as counselors and nutritionists.

The Lynne Cohen Preventative Care Program for Women’s Cancers at UAB “Breast Cancer Prevention and Risk Assessment Clinic” is dedicated to breast cancer prevention through genetic assessment, counseling, preventative interventions and clinical trials. A team of experts will give you recommendations on how to reduce your risk for breast cancer. This clinic is the only one of its kind in the Southeast.
