Breast Cancer Care

In the United States, a woman receives a breast cancer diagnosis every 2 minutes. In fact, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. The Women's Cancer Center at The University of Kansas Cancer Center focuses exclusively on breast and gynecologic cancers, providing the gold standard of cancer care to women.

Here, specialists from one of the country's leading National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers offer world-class cancer care, including more options and expertise to treat women's cancers. No one else in the region comes close. The first step in caring for you begins the moment you call.
