Moffitt welcomes patients from the state of Florida, across the nation and around the world.

Here are some additional reasons why you should consider traveling to Moffitt from Miami, Florida, to receive colorectal cancer treatment:

  • Teamwork – As our patient, you will become a valuable member of our multispecialty team. Several experts will work closely with you (and your physicians from back home) to develop your individualized treatment plan.
  • The latest treatment options – We provide access to a wide range of innovative treatments, including emerging therapies such as immunotherapy.
  • Robust clinical trials – We are continually making new medical discoveries and exploring new ways to use existing treatments to improve our patients’ outcomes and quality of life.

According to the American Cancer Society, lodging services can help reduce travel-related barriers to receiving the current standard of care for colorectal cancer, which is currently a "trimodal" regimen of radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. One reason is that this approach is more likely to be available at a high-volume cancer center than a small general hospital. In recognition of this important finding, Moffitt’s supportive care specialists are prepared to make hotel recommendations for patients who would like to travel from Miami, FL, and elsewhere to receive colorectal cancer treatment at Moffitt.
