UT Medical Center Adding $177M Radiation Oncology Campus in Ft. Worth
UT Southwestern Medical Center broke ground on a $177 million Radiation Oncology campus that will provide the most advanced therapies for patients of the nation’s 12th-largest city.
The 65,000-square-foot facility includes Fort Worth’s first MRI-guided precision radiation treatment. The campus is projected to open in 2028 and will be connected to UT Southwestern’s Moncrief Cancer Institute in the city’s Medical District.
As many as two-thirds of cancer patients need radiation therapy, and the UT Southwestern expansion will create the largest radiation oncology facility in the Fort Worth area. This will broaden access for patients of all oncologists and offer a convenient location close to home for patients living in Fort Worth and the surrounding area, who often require regular or daily trips for this lifesaving treatment.
The new facility will feature:
- Four linear accelerators (LINACs) to deliver precise radiation treatments to patients, with space to add two more LINACs to meet future demand.
- MRI-guided precision radiation treatment – the first of its kind in Fort Worth – to facilitate therapy with unprecedented accuracy.
