The University of Kansas Cancer Center is on an urgent journey to break the devastating grip of cancer. We are the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in the region, and 1 of only 71 in the nation, to receive this elite distinction.

NCI-designated cancer centers are recognized for their scientific excellence, including their depth and breadth of research. They are the backbone of innovative research and care across the country, helping to pioneer today’s most groundbreaking advances in cancer treatment.

Here, the individual well-being of each patient we treat is of the utmost importance. Our highest priority is to provide patients and their loved ones with exceptional medical and supportive care. We aim to fundamentally transform the experience of cancer in our world:

Giving all people greater access to breakthrough ideas and novel treatments
Leveraging and expanding our capabilities as a trailblazing force in cancer prevention, research and patient care
