FCS Clinical Studies and Article Discussion Forum

It is because of the extensive research conducted through clinical studies that we have the privilege of providing world class cancer care to our patients. We are fortunate to partner with one of the world’s leading cancer research organizations, Sarah Cannon, to bring over 300 clinical trials to our patients each year. Many of these studies have gone on to become the majority of new FDA approved cancer treatments available to patients today.

Additionally, our physicians are acutely aware of the research being conducted outside of Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS), as it too, carries a profound impact on the care we provide our patients. The FCS Clinical Review is a collection of many studies or articles from the leading oncology physicians across the globe, providing a platform for our physicians to continue exploring how we can continue to advance the care we provide.
