Kansas City, Missouri has long been known for its amazing barbecue and jazz scene; but, as of late, the city is becoming a hub for people who are moving in order to seek better cancer treatment.

North Kansas City Hospital, KU Hospital, and Saint Luke’s are all leading the pack when it comes to discovering new types of cancer and figuring out ways to effectively treat them. Local Kansas City movers have found that the most leaps and bounds that the local health care community have been making are in regards to prostate cancer.

North Kansas City Hospital is partnered with The University of Kansas Cancer Center and is using the new Calypso System for prostate cancer treatment – a method that has numerous prostate cancer patients moving to Kansas City from out of state in order to receive the best of the best treatment available.

The Calypso System allows for a better method when searching and locating prostate cancer infected areas of the body; subjecting less radiation to the healthy tissue surrounding the prostate and resulting in less side effects. But, prostate cancer is not the sole reason why so many people are moving to Kansas City for cancer treatment.

Saint Luke’s Hospital is using another alternative method in order to find other types of cancer, particularly lung cancer. The technique being used is called a “liquid biopsy,” which is a simple blood test that can detect the presence of lung cancer, rather than having to do a tissue biopsy.

The Kansas City movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage are more thrilled to hear about the newest form of treating cancer, which is currently being used at KU Hospital and is called Blincyto. Blincyto is CAR T-cell therapy, which removes T-cells from the body, and then they are genetically engineered to attack the tumors before being placed back into the patient. The process is known as immunotherapy and is a top choice for cancer patients, causing a number of new cancer patients to move to Kansas City.
