Fall 2023 eNewsletter

I am excited to share with you our Fall Edition Total Cancer Care (TCC) e-newsletter.   

This issue is very special to me because I can introduce myself as the new leader of the TCC study protocol. I started as the new leader of TCC in October of 2021 and I am privileged and honored to take on this new responsibility. I am very dedicated to making this study the best it can be and making the most out of your contribution to the study.   

I am working closely with our research community and patient advisors to offer our participants opportunities to join new sub-studies. In this newsletter, we are happy to share some new exciting study opportunities with you, as well as a new opportunity to join the YMCA.  

We are sharing the findings from a project led by Dr. Lauren Peres and Dr. Nancy Gillis. We have a new section for you to meet the team supporting TCC.  

We thank you for your time and for joining us in our mission to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer by enrolling in the TCC study at the Moffitt Cancer Center. The TCC study would not be possible without you.
