At KCUC you see the best in KC, and we see you too… all over town. That’s because we have 31 locations throughout the Metro in both Kansas and Missouri. When you search “urologist near me” or “cancer care near me”, you’re sure to find a KCUC office close by. It’s part of our convenient care model.
KCUC Has 31 Locations in the KC Metro Area
With 31 offices located in and around the Kansas City area, you’ll be able to find a urologist or oncologist nearby. You don’t have to drive far away, deal with traffic, figure out which parking lot to park in and which building to go to, and then navigate a huge hospital to find your doctor. That’s stressful in itself. At KCUC, you pull up to the building, head inside, are greeted by friendly staff and are treated on a first-name basis. And you get all of this convenience along with top doctors and state-of-the-art technology.
Leading the Way in Urology & Oncology
From medical equipment to procedures to treatments, KCUC brings you the latest and best that the urology and oncology field has to offer. Here are some examples of the cutting-edge technology we were the first to bring to KC:
- Our radiation treatment center is proud to be Kansas City’s first provider of RapidArc radiotherapy. RapidArc radiotherapy is a breakthrough technology that delivers faster and more precise cancer treatments.
- KCUC is now an exclusive provider of PROVENGE in the Kansas City metro area. PROVENGE is the first approved immunotherapy for advanced prostate cancer.
- In 2019, KCUC surgeons pioneered the first daVinci Single Port system in Kansas City after pioneering the first multi-port daVinci robot beginning in 2003. The single port system allows for robotic surgery to be performed with only one incision.
- KCUC is the first practice in KC to offer Rezum for enlarged prostate. Rezum is a minimally invasive procedure, which uses hot steam to reduce the enlarged part of the prostate responsible for urinary obstruction.
- A KCUC physician was the first to implant Medtronic’s new InterStim X™ system in the state of Missouri. The InterStim X™ system is an SNM (sacral neuromodulation) system used to help control nerves that affect bowel and bladder control.
- A KCUC surgeon was the first to use the UroLift UL2 System. With the Urolift procedure, permanent implants are used to hold the prostate tissue away from the urethra allowing the urine to pass through freely. The Urolift procedure requires no cutting, heating, tissue destruction, or tissue removal. The latest advancement in Urolift treatment is the introduction of the new UL2 delivery handle.
- Kansas City Proton Institute (KCPI), a division of KCUC, is the first to bring outpatient proton therapy to Kansas City. In fact, KCPI is the first office-based proton therapy center in Kansas and Missouri. Having an office-based proton therapy center makes cutting-edge cancer care more accessible and convenient for thousands of cancer patients in both states. Additionally, it will reduce costs for cancer patients.
With KCUC, you get the most advanced urology and oncology care all just a few miles away. With our cutting-edge technology and our top-notch physicians, our convenient locations are just the icing on the cake.
Experience Patient-First Care
Of course, we see the patient and what is physically wrong and we focus our efforts on healing the body. But we also see beyond the physical into the mental and emotional journey they are on. We see them as a whole person and do all we can to make their experience less stressful, less scary, and easier. This holistic approach, which values patients’ emotional and physical well-being equally, ensures a supportive and nurturing environment throughout the cancer treatment journey. Every aspect of the patient experience at KCUC is designed to reduce stress and facilitate healing.
