Oncology/Hematology

The Oncology/Hematology clinic of Mercy Regional Cancer Center is located on the ground floor of Mercy Hospital Janesville. Services are also offered weekly at Mercy Walworth Hospital and Medical Center.

The clinic treats patients with hematology or cancer diagnoses. The care team includes oncologists, a nurse practitioner, registered nurses (83% who are oncology certified nurses), medical assistants, a social worker, a patient financial counselor, a dietitian and support personnel, including a receptionist and medical records clerk. All care team members work together with the common goal of providing quality, compassionate care to the patients who enter through the doors seeking hematology or oncology services. On-going communication with the patient’s primary care physician, radiation oncologist and/or surgical oncologist is maintained to ensure continuity of care.

Individualized chemotherapy treatments are administered to patients in the
hematology /oncology clinic by specially trained RNs under the directive of the medical oncologist. Patients receive their treatments in comfortable reclining treatment chairs, each equipped with its own TV with headphones to minimize noise. Chemotherapy treatment plans are individualized based on numerous factors, including cancer type and stage of disease. Leading-edge chemotherapy treatments are available to patients. Supportive treatments for patients are also available in the treatment room, including other intravenous infusions, lab draws and injections.

Our hematology/oncology patients also have the option to participate in clinical trials. Mercy’s hematology/oncology clinic is affiliated with the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group of the National Cancer Institute, as well as the Wisconsin Oncology Group. Chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer, lung cancer and colorectal cancer are just some of the clinical trials available through these affiliations.
