Intro / Method of Care

The best modern cancer treatment can be found at Parrish Medical Center. Using a team approach with H.Lee Moffitt we offer our physicians' expertise in their subspecialties of care. This means that here, patients are treated with a depth of experience and skill in every known type of cancer. Our patients are treated by as many different specialists as are needed for various aspects of his or her disease, although there is always one primary doctor who coordinates the patient's care.

Parrish Medical Center's cancer management program formalizes an interdisciplinary approach. A disease-management team focuses on each of the most common sites of cancer, such as breast, colorectal, and lung, as well as cancer prevention and wellness. Each team includes surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and other health professionals with expertise in that particular area. This method freely crosses departmental lines and integrates the knowledge and expertise of staff from various areas.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, you are not alone. Our teams of specialists understand this illness, and know how it affects the lives of patients and loved ones. They are fully prepared to treat the whole patient, and every facet of his or her disease, with the most comprehensive cancer care available.
