Academic-based cancer centers like Sylvester – powered by the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine – are grounded in research, education, and training, and set the standard in medical excellence. They recruit top-ranked experts, use the latest technologies, and offer leading-edge treatments. Sylvester is the only academic cancer center in South Florida.
A Multidisciplinary Team approach to your care
At Sylvester, more than 2,500 physicians, researchers, and staff work in multidisciplinary teams to treat your specific cancer. As a patient, you not only receive the expertise of the doctor you see, but also the expertise of the team members that collaborate with your doctor to care for you. They work together to discuss your case, then develop and deliver a comprehensive care plan that treats you while aiming to cure your cancer.
A Phase 1 Clinical Trials Program
Sylvester is one of the only cancer centers in South Florida to offer a Phase 1 Clinical Trials program. These clinical trials are the first step in evaluating how patients respond to new, investigational treatments and help develop more treatment options. Sylvester continues to expand this program and often offers clinical trials not found at other cancer centers in the world, giving Sylvester patients more options and hope.
