Start Center For Cancer Care Now Offering Total Cancer Care In Boerne

Through START Kendall County, Boerne-area residents will have access to full-time oncologists, radiation treatment and chemotherapy in one location. Residents living north of San Antonio will no longer have to drive in to the center’s 120,000-square-foot cancer facility in the South Texas Medical Center to receive their treatments.

START has become the only cancer center in Kendall County that provides full-service patient access to medical oncology, hematology, chemotherapy and radiation oncology in one office and on a full-time basis.

“Kendall County is a growing community and we believe that being able to receive treatment close to home, family and friends adds up to overall better care for our cancer patients,” START’s Dr. Steven Kalter says.

The new START center is located in the Methodist Boerne Medical Center next to the Methodist ER. Besides Kalter, the Boerne START center’s physician staff also includes Marisa Sandera, Ardow Ameduri, Matthew Carpenter, Keith Eyre, Joaquin Mira, and Nena Mirkovic.

START now has eight locations throughout the San Antonio area as well as one in Madrid, Spain. START works to combine customized cancer treatment with accelerated drug development efforts.

START also manages a Phase I clinical trials program, where more than 40 promising new drugs are being tested for the first time in patients. START combines the strengths of two of San Antonio’s top cancer practices, South Texas Oncology and Hematology and South Texas Accelerated Research Therapeutics.
