The University of Kansas Health System, University of Kansas Medical Center, Children’s Mercy and BAMF Health To Develop Fully Integrated Destination Theranostic Research and Treatment Center

The University of Kansas Health System, the University of Kansas Medical Center, Children’s Mercy and Bold Advanced Medical Future (BAMF) Health recently announced their intentions to establish one of the nation’s first fully integrated theranostics platforms for both adult and pediatric patients—bringing advanced research, diagnostics and targeted treatments together in one place.  

Theranostics is a precision medicine approach to care that uses the same targeting system to both find disease in the body and treat it using radiopharmaceuticals. By delivering radiation directly to diseased cells, it treats disease more precisely, minimizes damage to healthy tissue, and results in fewer side effects.

This unique public-private collaboration will allow all four organizations to bring both theranostics research and treatments to adults and children in Kansas City and beyond.
