The infusion suite includes 18 patient stations for the delivery of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biotherapy or hormone therapy. From TVs and in-pillow speakers to complimentary drinks and snacks, the stations provide a comfortable environment for patients receiving treatment. There is also a community infusion station for patients who prefer to socialize while receiving treatment.
The linear accelerator is one of the most advanced radiation technologies available today. It delivers high-energy radiation beams with improved accuracy at faster rates to cancerous areas in the body, reducing the amount of time the patient spends receiving each treatment. In some cases, patients may receive fewer total treatment sessions than planned because of its advanced accuracy and speed.

Mammograms are specialized X-rays of the breast used to identify changes in the breast tissue. It’s used to detect and diagnose breast disease in women who either have breast problems, such as a lump, pain, or nipple discharge, as well as for women who have no breast complaints. Olathe Medical Center also offers 3D mammography (also called breast tomosynthesis). All mammograms are read by fellowship-trained breast radiologists to ensure you receive the expert care you deserve.
A colonoscopy is an exam of the large intestine that can detect precancerous growths early, before they turn into cancer. It can also lead to an early diagnosis of colon cancer, when treatment is most successful.
A low-dose CT lung scan is the latest advancement in the early detection of lung cancer. In this test, a series of detailed pictures of the lungs allows radiologists to determine if potential lung cancer exists. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. As with most cancers, early detection of lung cancer is critical to successful treatment and improved survival.
OMC offers a variety of low-cost preventive wellness screenings, including cancer screenings, in one convenient location with no appointment necessary. Regular health screenings and preventive exams can help you learn about your current health status and identify health risks that could lead to illness and serious disease in the future.
The cancer screenings include prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests (a test for prostate cancer that detects the presence of a protein in the blood produced by prostate cells) and fecal occult blood tests, which checks stool samples for hidden blood. Blood in the stool may indicate colon cancer or polyps in the colon or rectum.
These screenings are done in Outpatient Services at Olathe Medical Center in The Doctors Building 1, Ste. 150, Monday through Friday between 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. They can be reached at 913-324-8655.
