Moffitt also spearheads research initiatives to better understand the role of genetics in brain tumor growth and develop more effective treatment methods. In fact, our robust clinical trials program allows brain cancer patients to experience the latest breakthroughs in treatment before they are made available elsewhere. Our commitment to cancer research has earned us recognition as a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center –the only one based in Florida.
At Moffitt, we understand that brain tumors and brain cancer are more than a disease – it’s an overwhelming diagnosis that warrants emotional support in addition to treatment from a brain tumor specialist. That’s why we offer a full spectrum of supportive care to patients and their families at the same location as our other treatments. Patients are cared for by counselors, dietitians, social workers and other professionals who can help manage side effects of treatment and disease to improve quality of life.
