Fox Chase Cancer Center Robert C. Young, MD, Pavilion to House Region's First Women's Cancer Center
- Planned Completion: February 2010

The Women's Cancer Center builds on Fox Chase's world-renowned expertise in breast and gynecologic cancers.

Fox Chase Cancer Center has announced its plans to build the region's first Women's Cancer Center, the centerpiece of the newly expanded Robert C. Young, MD, Pavilion, formerly know as the Cancer Prevention Pavilion. The 125,000 square foot expansion of the Prevention Pavilion is under construction on Fox Chase's current campus in Northeast Philadelphia.

The Women’s Cancer Center continues the Fox Chase tradition of integrating team science and discovery with research in order to provide personalized intervention for women with or at risk for these cancers. It will include both clinical and research programs which encompass the continuum of care from risk assessment, prevention, screening and diagnostics, treatment, support, education through survivorship. With an expanded patient navigation program, women who become part of the Center will be offered individualized, compassionate care with a focus on wellness, stress reduction and quality of life and access to our full scope of research opportunities.

Robert Burger, MD, has been appointed as Director of the Women’s Cancer Center. As Director, Dr. Burger will coordinate the operations of the Center, merging the outstanding but now separate breast and gynecologic cancer teams.
