Norton Cancer Institute is the leading provider of care for melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and other skin cancers in Louisville and Southern Indiana. The area’s only cancer specialist with a subspecialty in oncologic dermatology — Jae Y. Jung, M.D., Ph.D. ­— sees patients at Norton Cancer Institute.

If you’ve been diagnosed with skin cancer, you want to start getting better right away. That’s why we offer same-day appointments for newly diagnosed patients.

At Norton Cancer Institute, you’ll have a one-on-one relationship with your oncologist, surgeon, radiation oncologist or other specialist. The next cancer doctor you see will be either someone you know or someone you’ll be seeing again who knows your case.

Innovative Skin Cancer Care Tailored for You

Our advanced diagnostic tools will help your specialist determine a care plan that’s tailored for you based on the status of your cancer and your treatment goals. Your comprehensive care team of physicians and other health care providers meets regularly to review your case and plan the next steps.

Our state-of-the-art treatments include immunotherapy and biologic therapies that can provide a unique treatment designed specifically to combat the genetic makeup of your cancer.

Norton Cancer Institute’s dedication to bringing high-quality cancer care to Louisville and Southern Indiana means leading-edge treatments are available close to home.

Dr. Jung is using a harmless form of the herpes virus to treat melanoma. The oncolytic therapy uses the virus to infect cancer cells and trigger the body’s immune system to fight the cancer.

In addition to our current leading-edge treatments, we offer our patients the opportunity to participate in innovative National Cancer Institute- and industry-sponsored clinical research studies. These trials help to improve current cancer treatments, in addition to finding new and promising solutions.
