Dear Friends,

There is one thing that has captured my attention this year, as it resonates through every

facet of the UW Carbone Cancer Center: teamwork.

Every day, I am impressed by the collaboration and devotion towards finding a cure

for cancer. We pride ourselves in translational research, which inherently revolves around

teamwork, from the research laboratories to the clinics, and which is embraced by every staff

member. Everyone has a role, and you will see many of them in the pages of this

annual report.

However, it is not only within these walls that teamwork is evident.

You, your family and your community are invaluable members of our team. While we have

our hands on the pulse of groundbreaking clinical trials and new technology, we are aware of

the personal sacrifices and the community efforts you are making on behalf of the UWCCC.

Our gratitude is endless. Without your support, we could not continue to make progress

towards this elusive goal.

On behalf of the faculty and the individuals and families who benefit from this teamwork, I

thank you for your support of the UW Carbone Cancer Center.

Sincerely,

George Wilding, MD

Director, UW Carbone Cancer Center

Anderson Professor of Medicine

UW Researchers Eliminate Cervical Cancer in

Mice with FDA-Approved Drugs

Researchers at the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer

Research have eliminated cervical cancer in mice with

two FDA-approved drugs currently used to treat breast

cancer and osteoporosis.

“We have begun to test whether the drugs are as effective

in treating cervical cancer in human cells as they are in our

mice,” says senior author Paul F. Lambert, PhD.

Lambert and his team use special mice they developed

more than 20 years ago to study cervical cancer. The mice

were genetically engineered to carry human papillomavirus

(HPV) 16, known to be strongly associated with cervical

cancer.

cutting-edge research initiatives at:

Examining The Effectiveness of Breast and

Cervical Cancer Screening for Latinas in

Dane County

Ana Martinez-Donate, PhD, a member of the Cancer

Center’s Cancer Control Program, is currently

studying the effectiveness of Cuidándome, a program

led by Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, Inc. to promote

breast and cervical screening among Latinas in Dane

County.

Cuidándome uniquely combines small-group education

delivered by lay health advisors, a community-wide media

campaign and cultural competency training for health care

providers. One technique is to hold home health parties,

casual workshops offered in Spanish to provide information

about preventive screenings, including Pap smears,

mammograms and clinical breast exams.

Learn more about Cuidándome and how the UW Carbone

Cancer Center is reaching out to Wisconsin communities

at: uwhealth.org/uwcarboneteamwork.

Photo: Cuidándome provides breast and cervical cancer education workshops and home health parties for Latinas in Dane County. Pictured at a home health party is Mayra DeGraff, one of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s 10 lay health advisors or “Promotoras de Salud” in Dane County.

Offering a Minimally Invasive Option to

Lung Cancer Patients

Treating lung cancer patients can be particularly

challenging, but a novel technology offered at the

UW Carbone Cancer Center, Video-Assisted Thorascopic

(VATS) lobectomy provides an effective alternative to

conventional “open” thoracotomy.

The UW is one of only a few facilities in Wisconsin to

perform totally minimally invasive VATS lobectomies. For

patients, the procedure means less pain and a shorter

recovery time.

Physicians at the UWCCC have been performing VATS

lobectomies since 1997 and UWCCC continues as a

national leader in researching and embracing new,

minimally invasive technologies to diagnose and treat

lung cancer.

treatments? Visit uwhealth.org/uwcarboneteamwork.

Celebrating the Hope and Strength

of a Cancer Survivor

Alyssa Brewer was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer

at age 37, a disease often considered terminal.

Five of the first six doctors she spoke to initially treated

her like a lost cause. When she needed a risky surgery to

survive, she turned to the UW Carbone Cancer Center,

which she credits with saving her life.

She was determined to survive, and with the help of her

husband, changed her lifestyle and diet. Thirteen months

later she showed no discrete tumor mass.

Cancer patients share their own stories of hope and

gratitude at uwhealth.org/uwcarboneteamwork.

Photo: Alyssa and Matthew Brewer, outside of their home in Plain, Wisconsin, continue to find the positive in each day following her pancreatic cancer surgery performed at the UW Carbone Cancer Center.

Clinical Research Studies

Courtney SaxlerClinical Research

Associate

Clinical research is among the UW Carbone Cancer Center’s greatest

strengths. These research studies uncover answers to specific scientific

questions about new ways to prevent, diagnose, detect and treat cancer.

They offer patients access to state-of-the-art therapies and discoveries.

Each study is designed to test how a particular anti-cancer strategy attacks

cancer, affects the people who receive it and improves survival rates.

Often the best hope for effective treatment, these studies also enable

progress in cancer research.

contributionsContributions: A Commitment to the Future Your gift to the UW Carbone Cancer Center supports innovative research initiatives, compassionate cancer care, and education for

public and health care professionals. Your contribution also enables our researchers to explore new ideas, purchase new cancer research

technology and develop better methods of diagnosing, treating and preventing cancer.

Funding for the Cancer Center’s research, outreach and treatment programs is more important than ever. There are many ways to support

the UW Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC):

Unrestricted Gifts are truly valuable because they provide the flexibility needed for research to move quickly in unexpected directions and to swiftly pursue promising clinical applications. Unrestricted gifts also provide resources to cover the costs of critical services not entirely funded by other support.

Designated Gifts benefit specific programs of your choice. Funds may be designated for initiatives in specific areas of cancer research, patient care and educational needs.

Corporate Matching Gifts are an excellent way to increase your giving potential to the Center. For more information, please contact your human resources office or our development office, (608) 263-1677.

Memorial and Honor Gifts allow contributors to recognize loved ones in a special way. Memorial gifts are made in memory of family members, friends or colleagues who have passed away. Honor gifts show someone in your life a measure of affection, admiration or gratitude. When such gifts are made, a special notification is sent to the family or the individual.

Endowments to sustain programmatic development are an option to create a lasting legacy in the benefactor’s name.

Other Examples of Giving include purchasing research equipment, funding fellowship or research programs, sponsoring special events or underwriting programs for the community or health care professionals.
