St. John’s Cancer Center, located on St. John’s main campus near the intersection of Fremont Avenue and Cherokee Street is designated as a Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Program by the American College of Surgeons.

We participate in numerous clinical research trials and have been recognized as having the greatest number of clinical research participants of any cancer program in southwest Missouri.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, it is important for you to know that you play an important role in the treatment process. Here you will learn more about St. John's cancer and ancillary programs.

When the need for inpatient care arises, cancer care is available at St. John's Hospital.

¢ The inpatient cancer unit is located on 7D in St. John’s Hospital. There are 25 beds, 15 of which are private. Of these 15 beds, 11 rooms are equipped with positive pressure creating a special airflow for those patients with low white blood counts or acute leukemia. There are 2 special lead-lined rooms for patients receiving radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer or iridium wires for lung, head or neck cancer.

¢ The majority of registered nurses on the unit are oncology- and chemotherapy-certified.
