Clinical Trials
Our patients gain access to groundbreaking therapies through 180+ active clinical trials. As the leading private oncology practice in Florida for trial participation, we offer national research studies that often become FDA-approved treatments. Our three Drug Development Units advance innovative therapies like bispecific antibodies and radiopharmaceuticals.
Radiation Therapy
All 11 radiation sites hold ACR accreditation for safety and excellence. We provide targeted treatments using advanced technologies like IMRT and stereotactic radiosurgery. Our precision approach minimizes side effects while maximizing tumor control for various cancer types.
Precision Medicine
FCS PRECISE integrates molecular profiling with treatment planning through in-house next-generation sequencing. This system identifies genetic mutations driving individual cancers, enabling targeted therapies with drugs like Erivedge and talatamab. Our precision approach improves outcomes for rare and complex cases.
Hematology Services
We treat leukemia, lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndromes with specialized protocols. Our hematologists combine chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and stem cell support to manage blood cancers. Patients benefit from clinical trials focused on novel treatments like CAR-T cell therapy.
Immunotherapy
Our immunotherapy programs utilize checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and cancer vaccines. Treatments like DigniCap for chemotherapy-induced alopecia and targeted immunotherapies improve quality of life. We participate in trials expanding immunotherapy applications for solid tumors and blood cancers.
