For many of the 13,000 Kansans diagnosed with cancer each year, the disease is just the first challenge.
Getting treatment too often requires leaving the state, adding to their burden.
The University of Kansas is working to change that.
We’re seeking designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute.
That designation would boost the KU Cancer Center’s efforts to find a cure and make the latest treatments available to Kansans — here in Kansas.
Patients will be able to receive these treatments through a network of local hospitals — the Midwest Cancer Alliance — that will bring advancedcare directly to Kansas communities.
