About our Clinical Research

Leading-edge research is one of the important reasons why the nationally renowned urologists at The University of Kansas Health System can provide hope to patients who are looking for answers. We continue to expand our research activities and opportunities. In the last three years, we have attracted celebrated and distinguished researchers in the field of prostate cancer to expand our research interests both in the laboratory as well as in the clinic. We work extensively with the Masonic Cancer Alliance to offer the latest study protocols to our patients and to invest in our basic scientists who are trying to find a cure for cancer. fre

Through a combination of basic science research and clinical studies, we strive to engage in research that will make a difference in the lives of our patients. Our researchers are leaders in the prevention, early detection and cure of urologic disease, and have published numerous peer-reviewed scientific papers in their areas of expertise. We only participate in ethical medical research that we genuinely believe will benefit our patients. The health and safety of our patients is our highest priority. Participation in clinical studies is entirely voluntary and detailed informed consent is mandatory.
