This facility specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with genitourinary cancers, as well as other forms of cancer. Patients receive coordinated, compassionate and quality cancer care from specialists in urologic oncology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, pathology and radiology. The program consists of University of Florida physician specialists and healthcare professionals working together to provide state-of-the-art cancer treatment. Support is also provided to patients by a group of skilled pharmacists, nurses, caseworkers and nutritionists. With proton therapy, the treatment approach includes minimally invasive surgery. The institute has access to the latest technology and breakthroughs in cancer treatments and research.
With conventional radiation therapy, the x-rays pass through both healthy and diseased tissue, which does help destroy tumors, but can cause significant harm to the surrounding areas. Protons cause less damage to healthy tissue as they enter the body, and deposit the majority of their destructive energy at the tumor site. As a result, normal, healthy tissue receives less exposure to radiation, resulting in fewer treatment complications. Until recently, the treatment of cancer was often just as frightening as the diagnosis. It no longer has to be that way.
