The Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons has approved accreditation for the cancer program at the Kansas University Medical Center.
Officials from the commission visited the Med Center in September and recently determined it met standards in 10 areas, including updated equipment, a multidisciplinary approach to care, clinical trials, education and support.
Only about 25 percent of hospitals that treat cancer patients receive approval from the commission.
Evaluators cited the hospital’s tumor registry, which identifies, analyzes and distributes information from patients who have been diagnosed with cancer, as especially strong.
