- Comprehensive treatments – Moffitt’s spinal cancer specialists provide the latest advances in treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological response modifiers, surgical procedures and other innovative therapies.

Our team includes dietitians, social workers, counselors, physical therapists and nurses who help patients manage negative side effects of treatment and disease.
