The proton therapy center will be built at the Main Campus of The University of Kansas Health System at 4000 Cambridge Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas. The center will be a multimillion-dollar investment, with total amounts being determined as construction, design, equipment and other factors are finalized. Construction is expected to begin later this year.
"Proton therapy treatment is now considered to be one of the most advanced, safe and effective methods to deliver cancer treatment for adult and pediatric patients alike," said Terance Tsue, MD, vice president and physician-in-chief of The University of Kansas Cancer Center. "As an NCI-designated cancer center, it is our mission to provide our patients with the most comprehensive, technologically advanced treatment options – and proton therapy represents a promising addition to treatment plans our patients can consider."
