The UCHealth Cancer Center – Cherry Creek<\/a> combines the specialist cancer care of Colorado\u2019s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center<\/a> with the convenience of UCHealth\u2019s new Cherry Creek Medical Center<\/a>.

The new UCHealth cancer center has been serving infusion patients since late June and opened its doors this week to a wide variety of cancer patients. Leading the cancer-care team is\u00a0Dr. Scott Kono<\/a>, the new cancer center\u2019s medical director. Kono, a Colorado Springs native, joins UCHealth as a University of Colorado School of Medicine<\/a> faculty member a decade after completing his oncology fellowship at the institution. He returns as a seasoned medical oncologist and hematologist<\/a> whose experience has run the gamut of cancer care and treatment.<\/p>\n

\"exceptional
The Cherry Creek Medical Center is homey with beautiful natural light. The Cancer Center has a full infusion center. The waiting room features comfortable chairs and soothing art.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kono will care for patients and coordinate with specialists to provide onsite care that harnesses the deep expertise of University of Colorado Cancer Center experts in gynecologic, urologic, lung, blood, breast, skin (including Mohs surgery<\/a>), gastrointestinal, and other cancers as well as oncologic surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, precision medicine, and clinical trials.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a person with cancer, the best care takes a village \u2013 a real team approach,\u201d Kono said. \u201cWe all lean on each other and leverage each other\u2019s experience to help the patient.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the UCHealth Cherry Creek Medical Center, we will be able to provide exceptional cancer care with the convenience and personal care of a community-based clinic, Kono says.\u00a0 Additionally, having access to subspecialists can be pivotal in a patient\u2019s care.<\/p>\n

Tap in<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kono and colleagues will be working in a facility designed to optimize its unique urban location. Among other features, the new space features onsite radiation therapy as well 10 private and two living-room-style semiprivate infusion bays, the latter with three chairs in each room. The overarching goal is to avail the breadth and depth of care familiar to the University of Colorado Cancer Center,<\/a> which UCHealth patients have accessed through UCHealth Cancer Care \u2013 Anschutz Medical Campus<\/a> and, more recently, UCHealth Cancer Center \u2013 Highlands Ranch<\/a>, to patients living in Cherry Creek and surrounding neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

\"exceptional
The Cherry Creek Medical Center has a full cancer center that includes a linear accelerator, where patients who need radiation can get treatments. Dr. Scott Kono is director of the Cherry Creek Cancer Center and he will work closely with radiation oncologists.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Patients at the new center can tap into two of the University of Colorado Cancer Center\u2019s defining features: multidisciplinary clinics (also known as tumor boards) and clinical trials.<\/p>\n

Multidisciplinary clinics are weekly gatherings of cancer experts who consider a patient\u2019s case history, scans, and pathology results and jointly recommend treatment paths. As an example, lung cancer multidisciplinary clinics involve medical oncologists, lung cancer specialists, radiologists, oncological surgeons, radiation oncologists, and pathologists. It\u2019s a combination of specialized expertise that few institutions can bring to bear.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur patients will definitely have access to subspecialty tumor conferences, which is great,\u201d Kono said.<\/p>\n

Clinical trials will give UCHealth Cherry Creek Cancer Center patients access to the latest experimental cancer therapies being studied at the University of Colorado Cancer Center researchers. As of\u00a0 late August, those researchers were involved in 272 cancer-related trials<\/a> related to diverse cancers. In addition to eight oncology exam rooms, the new cancer center has small conference rooms where physicians and patients can discuss clinical-trial options.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have the advantages of the clinical trials and of CU School of Medicine cancer researchers pushing the envelope of patient care and improving outcomes,\u201d Kono said.<\/p>\n

Local help<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cancer center patients will also be able to tap into Cherry Creek Medical Center resources including social workers, psychologists, nutritional counselors and others.<\/p>\n

\"exceptional
A photo collage with antique portraits gives the Breast Center at the Cherry Creek Medical Center a comforting, residential feel. The center has new, low-radiation mammography equipment and men who need to be treated for breast cancer can use a separate entrance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All supportive services will be available as they are in other locations.<\/p>\n

Kono added what he considers to be as important a feature as any other in cancer care: collaboration with patients\u2019 primary care physicians. Cancer care is an extension of primary care \u2013 not a replacement of it, Kono says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe primary care doctor is part of the team,\u201d Kono said. \u201cWe want to keep the primary care doctor 100% on board with everything that\u2019s going on. They\u2019re still taking care of all the other aspects of the patient\u2019s health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"exceptional

An added benefit of doing that, Kono says, is that the patient feels anchored with his or her familiar primary care physician amid waves of cancer specialists and treatments.<\/p>\n

In all, Kono says, the goal is to meld a local, easily accessible medical practice with the quality of care only an academic medical center can deliver.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want patients to feel like they\u2019re getting individualized, community-based, convenient-yet-excellent medical care,\u201d Kono said. \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s great about Cherry Creek \u2013 it\u2019s the best of both worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
