For breast cancer patients in Cape Coral, FL, a lumpectomy, or the surgical removal of a breast tumor along with a small rim of noncancerous tissue, may be advised for treatment. In terms of a patient’s quality of life, a surgeon’s expertise can make a true difference. For this reason and others, many women travel to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa for lumpectomy surgery. In fact, Moffitt is the third-largest cancer center in the nation based on patient volume, and each year we treat more than 1,000 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.  

Moffitt is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center based in Florida, a testament to our dedication to developing effective approaches to cancer treatment, including surgery. Due to technological advances, some tumors that were previously considered to be inoperable can now be treated with surgery, and Moffitt is at the forefront of implementing new and better techniques to give our patients the best treatment and care possible. Our patients also have exclusive access to promising new drugs and techniques that are available only in our clinical trials. Additional benefits of electing to have a lumpectomy at Moffitt to treat breast cancer include: 

  • We take a multispecialty approach to treatment, and each patient’s surgical team consists of highly trained surgeons, physicians, anesthesiologists, nurses, lab personnel, radiologists, pharmacists and supportive care providers
  • We specialize in minimally invasive and robotic surgery techniques, some of which are nipple- and areola-sparing, to give our patients improved cosmetic outcomes
  • Moffitt consistently ranks more than 95 percent in patient satisfaction, a reflection of  our surgeons’ skill and expertise

Furthermore, at Moffitt, the Don & Erika Wallace Comprehensive Breast Program provides all diagnostic, treatment and support services in a single location, so our out-of-town patients don’t have to worry about navigating an unfamiliar city. Additionally, to help lessen the burden of traveling from Cape Coral, we’ve partnered with several local hotels that meet or exceed our stringent hygiene standards and offer discounted rates to our patients and their families, allowing them to stay focused on what’s most important – their health and well-being.
