Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute Breaks Ground for New Cancer Center in Bradenton

Fort Myers, Fla., Feb. 2, 2021 — Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) broke ground recently for a new cancer center in Manatee County. The one-story building, located at 3630 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton, FL, will provide expanded treatment space for patients, with 18 exam rooms, 50 infusion chairs and on-site imaging, laboratory, pharmacy and care management services. Scheduled to open in November 2021, the 20,250-square-foot building will replace the two existing FCS clinic locations in Manatee County.

The Honorable Gene Brown, Mayor of Manatee County, participated in the groundbreaking ceremony.

“My colleagues and I are proud to be part of this community,” said FCS medical oncologist Brian T. Berry, MD, PhD. “We work here and we also live here with our families. Our entire team is dedicated to providing a warm and welcoming environment for our patients and their caregivers, and to ensure that each of them can achieve the very best outcome.”

FCS medical oncologists Juan Castro, MD, Koteshwar Telukuntla, MD and Ana Van Der Wall, MD will also provide care at the new location.

Florida Cancer Specialists celebrates the beginning of construction for a new office in Bradenton.

Despite rapid advancements in cancer diagnosis and treatment, the American Cancer Society is estimating that approximately 148,000 Florida residents will be diagnosed with cancer this year. FCS is dedicated to treating cancer and taking care of patients within their local hometowns—where they live and work and where their loved ones and support networks are close by.
