If you’re thinking about traveling from the Miami, FL, area to receive pancreatic cancer treatment at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, you may be interested to know that studies have proven that patients who travel to a high-volume academic medical center for gastrointestinal cancer treatment have better survival and quality-of-life outcomes.

One reason is that a patient who receives pancreatic cancer treatment at a specialty cancer center is more likely to undergo lymph node dissection, which is the current standard of care for pancreatic cancers that can be removed surgically. This procedure involves the removal of selected lymph nodes so that these glands can be examined under a microscope for evidence of cancer.

In addition to having access to leading-edge therapies, there are many other reasons to travel from Miami, Florida, to Moffitt to receive pancreatic cancer treatment in our Gastrointestinal Oncology Program. Consider that:
