Teams of local cancer experts. Access to the latest research, clinical trials and advances in cancer care. Dedicated physicians, nurses, pharmacists, researchers and surgeons, all coming together for you.
With two locations in Central Kentucky, you’re able to get the care you need, close to home.

For patients receiving care at the Markey Cancer Center at Lexington Clinic, your providers will remain the same throughout the duration of your care. If you are eligible for advanced cancer care and/or clinical trials, you may need to receive that treatment on the UK campus. For those patients receiving care on UK’s campus, your medical oncologist may still be a part of your treatment plan and will oversee and monitor your treatments.
