Cancer is a complicated disease. Fighting cancer needs a comprehensive team of experts.
At the University of Kansas Cancer Center, we are more than an academic cancer center; we are a unique community-based cancer research and care partnership focused on one mission: eliminating the burden of cancer.
Our cancer team includes: the University of Kansas-Lawrence and its School of Pharmacy, the KU Medical Center campuses in Kansas City and Wichita, the University of Kansas Hospital, the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, and the Midwest Cancer Alliance - a network of hospitals providing cancer care across the region.
Central to the University of Kansas Cancer Center's vision of eliminating the cancer burden in Kansas and the Heartland is achieving National Cancer Institute (NCI) Comprehensive Cancer Center designation within the next decade. NCI designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center signifies that an academic cancer center has achieved the highest standards. Currently, there are 24 NCI-designated Cancer Centers and 39 NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the United States. For more on the NCI designation process, click here.
