For women from Kissimmee, Florida, who are considering a total mastectomy, Moffitt Cancer Center can be an invaluable resource. Located a short drive away in Tampa, our world-renowned cancer center is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center based in Florida. This prestigious distinction recognizes our commitment to providing the best possible treatment to cancer patients, using both innovative, industry-leading techniques as well as new breakthrough treatments uncovered during our many ongoing clinical trials. 

A total mastectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove an entire breast and some nearby lymph nodes. This treatment is generally intended for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer or have been identified as having an elevated risk of developing a tumor due to a genetic predisposition. At Moffitt, our multispecialty team is dedicated to providing every patient who turns to us with an optimal treatment plan. Each week, our tumor board convenes to collaboratively review each patient’s case file. This group of medical oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and other breast cancer experts closely monitors the progress of our patients, providing many different perspectives to the treatment process. It’s this individualized approach to treatment that really sets us apart from other cancer centers.
