University Cancer Center nationally designated
The University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) may be able to officially call itself a National Cancer Institute (NCI). According to a post by U.S. Senator Pat Roberts on his Facebook page, KUCC has been approved as a NCI designated cancer center.
"I am pleased that the University of Kansas has been given a green light and I look forward to a formal announcement of their National Cancer Institute designation," he posted on Thursday, June 28.
Currently, there are only 66 NCI designated cancer centers in the country, none of which are in Kansas. The NCI board met June 25 and will release a formal announcement of KUCC's admission by
mid-July.
KUCC applied for the designation in September 2011, but has worked for the past seven years and invested $350 million toward the goal. As of last September, the organization had created 1,123 jobs and contributed more than $450 million to the local economy. Officials expect that the designation will improve these numbers with the help of more federal research funding which will result in more higher-paving jobs.
As a designated center, KUCC will also be able to provide Kansas cancer patients more opportunities to participate in new clinical trials, more access to promising therapies and a number of other services, all closer to home.
