When you are undergoing cancer treatment, you are at higher risk for infections.

Chemotherapy and certain types of cancer can weaken the immune system, making infection more likely. Our infectious disease specialists work with your cancer team at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center to lessen your chances and treat any infection that may occur.
