Advanced Technology for More Precise Treatment
AdventHealth Cancer Institute Shawnee Mission is the only health care system in Kansas City to offer MRI-guided radiation therapy. The Elekta Unity MR-Linac system combines a cancer treatment device (Linac) with a magnetic resonance imaging scanner (MRI). It allows us to see tumors as we treat them, resulting in pinpoint precision, fewer treatments and reduced side effects. We’re always seeking new ways to make cancer treatment easier on your body, mind and spirit.
Early Detection Saves Lives
Scheduling a mammogram, cervical cancer screening, lung screening or colonoscopy can mean catching cancer early, when it’s most treatable. We’re committed to making it easy for you to stay on top of your cancer screenings. Our team can evaluate your health and help you get the age-appropriate preventive care you need to stay well.
