As an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, we have extensive research capabilities that pioneer improved cancer treatments, prevention and diagnosis. From basic scientists to physicians, our team works together to bring discoveries made at the research bench to our patients’ beside.

We aim to disseminate our cancer discoveries to our community through unique communications, including our groundbreaking annual research highlights publication and award-winning Facebook Live web series, Bench to Bedside. These vehicles give us the opportunity to speak directly to patients, caregivers, survivors, co-survivors and community members and share exactly how The University of Kansas Cancer Center is changing and saving lives with unprecedented research and cancer discoveries.
