Leaders, Not Followers

The University of Kansas Cancer Center's comprehensive prostate cancer program is comprised of the nation’s leading experts. In fact, we’re the most subspecialized prostate cancer program in Kansas, Kansas City and the region. Our nationally ranked urology program offers patients and collaborating care teams the highest level of knowledge, expertise and multidisciplinary care that comes from being an/a:
We know complex
Our multidisciplinary, fellowship-trained prostate cancer team includes subspecialized physicians that only focus on prostate cancer within their given fields:
- Urologic oncologists
- Radiation oncologists
- Medical oncologists
- Radiologists
- Pathologists
Every patient is different, not all prostate cancer is equal. As such, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Subspecialists who work day-in and day-out on prostate cancer have a deeper understanding of all available treatment options for a specific case. Prostate cancer treatment is often multimodal; a combination of surgery followed by radiation, for example. We know complexities of the disease that may be missed by a specialist, which in turn could limit treatment options. Our team works together to provide the best, most comprehensive diagnoses, treatments and care plans.
