Know Cancer

Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., is solely focused on the prevention and the cure of cancer. Moffitt, one of the world’s most sophisticated cancer centers of excellence, employs fellowship-trained physicians and medical researchers who are among the best in their respective fields.

What separates Moffitt from other institutions is our commitment to Total Cancer Care™— a comprehensive approach that will enable us to identify and meet all the needs of each patient including drug therapies, nutrition, pain management, survivorship, and spiritual support.

One component of Total Cancer Care is personalized medicine, which researches the genetic makeup of a patient’s tumor, then uses that information to develop treatments as unique as a fingerprint. The benefit? In the future, patients will receive cancer care with a greater chance of success. A National Cancer Institute designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, Moffitt is one of only 40 centers nationwide that make up an alliance that shares research and practices in an effort to diagnose and treat cancer more effectively. Together we’re redefining how the battle against cancer is won.
