WHY DOES NCI DESIGNATION MATTER?

National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation is prestigious and considered the gold standard of cancer centers. The NCI is the federal government's lead agency for cancer research and training. As South Florida's only NCI-designated cancer center, only Sylvester offers patients access to the most advanced approaches available for preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer.

THE ACADEMIC-BASED DIFFERENCE

Grounded in research, education and training, Sylvester is the only academic-based cancer center in South Florida.
