The University of Kentucky’s Markey Cancer Center has achieved the highest level of recognition from the National Cancer Institute.
“No matter their age or where they’re from, every person diagnosed with cancer is a child of God, and they deserve our very best,” Beshear said.
“It means that we can attract the best clinicians, the best researchers, more research dollars, better clinical trials. And that means better outcomes,” the congressman said. “And boy, do we need it in the commonwealth of Kentucky.” Each year, Kentucky has more than 30,000 new cancer cases and more than 10,000 cancer deaths, according to statistics provided by UK. Kentucky has the highest incidence rates for lung and bronchus and cervical cancers, while ranking second for colon and rectal cancers, it said.
As the federal government’s principal agency for cancer research and training, the NCI awards designations based on excellence in cancer treatment, diagnosis and prevention. Markey received an initial NCI designation in 2013.
