Specialty Services

An important part of our mission is to provide you with the best possible care by becoming a nationally recognized leader in cancer treatment and research.

Utilizing both radiation and medical oncology we treat almost every type of cancer, and have recently expanded our services to include gynecological oncology and a Breast Cancer Clinic

Breast Cancer Clinic
Our Breast Cancer Clinic uses a unique multidisciplinary treatment approach, developed by a team of our cancer specialists to reduce your confusion and apprehension while speeding the transition from diagnosis to a comprehensive treatment plan. Learn more about the WMCC Breast Cancer Clinic.

Gynecologic Oncology
Gynecologic Oncology researches, diagnoses and treats malignancies arising in the female reproductive tract. The ovaries, endometrium, cervix, vulva and vagina are the sites of origin of the most common and challenging gynecologic malignancies. Often discussed as a group, they have significant differences in etiology, prevention, detection, treatment and likelihood of cure.

Our gynecologic oncologist, Younes Noaman Bakri. MD, FACOG, is an obstetrician/gynecologist and cancer specialist with several years of structured training in all of the effective forms of treatment of gynecologic cancers (surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and experimental treatments) as well as the biology and pathology of gynecologic cancer. The unique aspect of this training is that it allows you to receive the mode of therapy or combinations of therapy most likely to be successful without fragmenting your care among many physicians.

Neuro-Oncology Clinic
The Neuro-Oncology Clinic was established in an effort to treat a person's cancer more quickly and efficiently. After just one meeting with our team, each patient leaves with a comprehensive treatment plan that can be acted upon immediately. We also provide second opinion consultations for patients from other cancer treatment facilities. This clinic provides every patient with:

A comprehensive review of their medical records prior to the initial consultation to assure efficient, cost-effective visit. This collaborative meeting of physicians and other health care providers captures all the expertise necessary to provide the highest quality care.

Multi-disciplinary coordinated clinic care in which any additional tests and consultations are scheduled on the day of consultation.

The expertise of the Multi-disciplinary Team for consensus treatment decisions.

Complete consultation and information sharing with the family / referring physician.

Reports to the referring physician within 72 hours of the visit.

Comprehensive education materials.

An opportunity to meet with a social worker or dietician.

Access to support groups or one-on-one psychological support.
