Midwest Cancer Alliance (MCA)

Member-based organization of cancer researchers, care providers and support professionals throughout Kansas and western Missouri

Goals: – Enhance cancer care across the region via research

collaborations– Keep patients close to home during treatment – Promote access to leading-edge diagnostics, care,

and prevention and survivorship strategies

What is NCI Designation?

Cancer centers “apply” for NCI designation through rigorous application – Designation process: typically 8-10 years

(began pursuit in 2005)– The University of Kansas Cancer Center

invited to apply Sept. 2011 Designation given to centers showing

excellence in translating research into therapies for patients– Considered the Gold Standard in cancer

centers Extend benefits to MCA communities

through cancer research/trials

Importance of NCI Designation• National State of

Cancer• No. 1 cause of death

under the age of 85• Cancer costs $200

billion/year• Regional State of

Cancer• 25,700 diagnosed

cases in KS/western MO in 2008

• Underserved Region• Our region is one of

largest without a designated cancer center

65 National Cancer Institute-designated Centers

Benefits of NCI Designation

Building Collaboration Growing Jobs Expanding Clinical Trials

Page 8: NCI Designation:  Expanding Science and Promoting  Health in the Region

Growing the Economy

Estimated total economic impact:– $1.36 billion annually as Comprehensive Cancer

Center – 9,400 permanent jobs created

Categories of economic impact:– Research facility construction– Research facility operations– Growth in medical sector – Growth in biotechnology sector

*Data from economic impact study by The Perryman Group, 2005

Expanding Clinical Trials

Clinical Trials: Research studies to test new drugs or treatments vs. those that are in use today

Importance: Clinical trials are key to cancer care – opportunity to advance science

Drug Discovery, Delivery and Development– KU’s strength in drug discovery, delivery and

development will translate discoveries into new clinical trials School of Pharmacy ranked #2 in NIH funding

– Phase I clinical trials expanded through new clinical trials facility in Fairway (JCERT)

Regional Focus: NCI Designation Study commissioned by

Greater KC Community Foundation

5-Year Update -Time to Get It Right excerpts:• NCI designation must remain the

highest near-term priority • Investment in drug delivery and

development is key• Continued collaboration among

life sciences organizations • Foster public support of life

sciences effort

“NCI designation ….provides high visibility, attracts further investments and talent to the region and has the

potential for significant economic impact.”
