The University of Kansas Cancer Center

Kansas City Cancer Center has joined forces with The University of Kansas Cancer Center. The result? Our patients still benefit from our commitment to treating cancer early on and finding answers. And now they have greater access to the most comprehensive cancer care in the region. This new organization – operating as The University of Kansas Cancer Center – is home to exceptional care paired with leading-edge clinical research.
It’s a collaboration that brings together the best in cancer care: the area’s leading community-based oncology program and the area’s premier academic medical center. Through our locations across the Kansas City region, patients have access to this world-class care in convenient locations close to home.

Our commitment

Our dedication to learning more about cancer means patients have access to newer therapies and advanced treatments. The University of Kansas Cancer Center’s partners include The University of Kansas Medical Center, The University of Kansas Hospital, The University of Kansas and KU School of Pharmacy, The University of Kansas School of Medicine, Wichita, and research institutes, hospitals and organizations across the region through the Midwest Cancer Alliance.

Our doctors and scientists collaborate on new and more effective drug and treatment therapies. Their goal is to prevent, treat and, ultimately, end cancer. And our health sciences schools train the next generation of doctors and scientists to continue this fight against cancer 

At the same time, our patient care team’s top priority is to provide the most advanced care and best possible service to our patients. Specialized physicians, nurse practitioners and oncology-certified nurses help patients and family members cope with all forms of cancer each step of the way.

Our patients also have access to the greatest selection of clinical trials in the region. These clinical studies are at the foundation of every lifesaving cancer treatment used today.
