Wisconsin Oncology Network (WON)

The Wisconsin Oncology Network (WON) was established in 1998 as a collaborative research network that offers innovative treatment options to patients, with the advantage that patients can be treated in their home communities. It has grown to 19 sites in Wisconsin, northern Illinois and western South Dakota. To date, more than 1,800 patients have participated in WON clinical studies, leading to numerous publications and scientific presentations.
