NCI Designation: Expanding Science and Promoting
Health in the Region
NameTitle, CompanyDate
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
7
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 BenefitsDesignation = Economic Engine
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.”
