UChicago Medicine debuts cancer network, AdventHealth hospital tapped as 1st affiliate

The University of Chicago Medicine has launched a national cancer network, and has selected AdventHealth Cancer Institute Shawnee Mission in Merriam, Kan., as its first affiliate. 

The UChicago Medicine Cancer Network will allow national affiliates to remain independent while aligning with UChicago Medicine’s clinical care, medical education and biomedical research standards, according to an Aug. 20 news release from UChicago Medicine. 

Patients receiving care at a network affiliate will have access to UChicago Medicine-sponsored clinical trials and select industry trials, as well as expert second opinions and advanced treatments, the release said.
