Two Kansas centers team up for cancer care

Kansas City Cancer Center and Shawnee Mission (KS) Medical Center are embarking on a joint venture that will develop an outpatient cancer center at Shawnee Mission's Merriam campus. The center is expected to open in the third quarter of 2009, in a building now under construction. The facility will be the fifth comprehensive treatment center for the Kansas City Cancer Center, and will provide imaging services, outpatient medical oncology and outpatient radiation oncology.
