Comprehensive Cancer Care, Close to Home for Anthem Patients in Columbia, Missouri
Trusted, Life-Saving Treatment Without the Need to Travel
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Cancer patients in the Columbia region can continue receiving high-quality care close to home. For over 40 years, local providers have delivered comprehensive, compassionate cancer treatment—and now, Anthem patients currently not covered at University of Missouri Hospital can receive the same trusted care through established local options.
This means patients have no need to travel long distances to Kansas City or St. Louis. Columbia’s long standing cancer center provides a full range of services under one roof, including an onsite pharmacy, state-of-the-art radiation oncology, and infusion therapy—all supported by an experienced, patient-centered team.
The center also offers next-day appointments for new patients, as well as second opinions for those seeking additional guidance and confidence in their care plans.
“We are committed to making high-quality cancer care accessible for every patient in our community,” said Dr. Alexandre Tungesvik, Medical Oncologist. “As a local cancer center, we are proud to serve our community—our physicians don’t just work here; we live here, raise families here, and are deeply invested in the health of this community. We know that a cancer diagnosis brings overwhelming challenges—traveling for treatment shouldn’t be one of them.”
