About Our Pursuit

Patient-Focused
Cancer Research

Sylvester is often among the first cancer centers in the world to offer access to the newest investigational therapies. In South Florida, Sylvester has the only Phase 1 Clinical Trials program — the first step in evaluating how patients respond to novel investigational treatments.

Innovative Cancer
Prevention Initiatives

Cancer prevention strategies, such as the Firefighter Cancer Initiative and the Sylvester Game Changer™ Vehicle, seek to understand why certain occupational and ethnic groups have higher cancer rates than the general population.

Training and Education

Sylvester is the only academic, university-based comprehensive cancer center in the region. That means our team of over 300 cancer-focused physicians and researchers is not only elevating the quality of life-saving care today, but also training the cancer experts of tomorrow.
