Overview
The University of Kansas Cancer Center is a nationally recognized leader in the fight to treat and cure cancer. In 2022, our center achieved National Cancer Institute (NCI) Comprehensive Cancer Center designation, one of only 56 in the US. Blood and marrow transplant specialists at The University of Kansas Cancer Center are nationally recognized hematologists/oncologists. Through research and clinical trials, we constantly develop new therapies to save more lives. Our FACT accredited program has been performing allogeneic transplant since 1977 and has been an NMDP/Be the Match transplant center since 1994. Over the past decade, we have developed one of the largest bone marrow transplant and cellular therapeutics programs in the nation. We perform over 300 transplants annually, and we have performed over 5,000 transplants since 1977. We have performed over 300 CAR-T therapies since 2015.
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1977 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since September 1994.
