The Wisconsin Oncology Network (WON) is a regional network that allows community health centers to enroll patients in select cancer clinical trials that are open at the UW Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC). Non-UW sites account for nearly one third of accrual to UW clinical trials.

WON was created in 1998 to extend the conduct of clinical oncology trials into the community. WON has evolved to encompass research efforts in the region on a broader scale through the UWCCC’s status as a Lead Academic Participating Site for the National Clinical Trials Network.

WON members have access to advanced molecular imaging techniques through the Wisconsin Oncology Network for Imaging eXcellence (WONIX).
