About University of Kansas Cancer Center-Department of Radiation Oncology

The University of Kansas Cancer Center, an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, recently received a $100 million lead gift to build a new, state-of-the-art destination cancer facility.

The Department of Radiation Oncology provides cancer care services throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area with over 4,300 treatment courses annually. The Division of Medical Physics is comprised of 21 faculty medical physicists, 18 medical dosimetrists, 4 medical physics residents (2 PGY-1’s and 2 PGY-2’s), and 1 department-funded clinical research fellow.

The department has just completed a Varian Eclipse/ARIA RTM v18.0 upgrade, the first in the US.  The University of Kansas’ IBA ProteusONE is projected to be the first in the region to deliver FLASH therapy.  In the upcoming five years, 4 LINACs and 2 Siemens CT simulators will be installed/replaced. The Department has a newly renovated 1200 sq. ft. physics research space located right next to the clinical area on the main Cancer Center campus, and it houses both computational and instrumentation labs.

The medical group at The University of Kansas strives for excellence in both clinical and research and is rapidly growing a national reputation in many areas, including treatment planning, dosimetry, instrumentation, QA/QC, proton therapy, FLASH, optimization, Monte-Carlo simulations, and more.

The medical physics research is currently being funded by multiple NIH grants, industry grants and The University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) physicist/scientist recruiting grants. Collaborations with the physics and engineering departments at the KU Lawrence campus create abundant exciting opportunities for both academic research and education.
