The UF Health Cancer Center seeks tomorrow's answers for today's patients through state-of-the-art cancer treatment, prevention, control and education.
The University of Florida Health Cancer Center offers a wide range of diagnostic, treatment and after-care services for all types of adult and children’s cancer. Each patient is treated according to a unique plan customized by a team of medical professionals, scientists and educators for the specific type of cancer, its stage, the patient’s needs and overall health.
One of the great benefits of receiving cancer care at an academic health center like UF Health is patient access to advanced medical treatment and the latest in research. As an academic health center, our clinician-scientists participate in cutting-edge research and clinical trials.
The multidisciplinary membership of the UF Health Cancer Center is its strength. The center develops and maintains a membership program composed of more than 350 researchers and clinicians at UF and UF Health Shands Hospital to organize, facilitate, promote and support the growth and enrichment of a full spectrum of cancer research. Members are drawn from throughout the University of Florida, including six colleges within the Health Science Center — Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Public Health and Health Professions and Veterinary Medicine —to collaborate on original scientific research and make advances in the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer.
In 2013, UF Health and Orlando Health joined programs to form the UF Health Cancer Center at Orlando Health, establishing one of the state’s largest, most comprehensive cancer programs.
Our mission is and will always be dedicated to:
• Providing state-of-the-art cancer treatment, prevention, control and education
• Conducting original scientific research aimed at discovery
• Fostering collaboration to turn research findings into new therapies
• And, ultimately, offering hope in the face of a daunting diagnosis
