About FCS

Since 1984, Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) has built a national reputation for excellence. With over 250 physicians, 220 nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and nearly 100 locations, FCS utilizes innovative clinical research, cutting-edge technologies, and advanced treatments to provide world-class cancer care. Recognized by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) with a national Clinical Trials Participation Award, FCS offers patients access to more clinical trials than any private oncology practice in Florida. Our patients benefit from ground-breaking therapies in a community setting and may participate in national clinical research studies. In the past five years, the majority of new cancer drugs approved for use in the U.S. were studied in clinical trials with FCS participation prior to approval. Through our partnership with Sarah Cannon, FCS is one of the largest clinical research organizations in the United States, often leading the nation in initiating research studies and offering ground-breaking new therapies.

At FCS, we believe our people are our strength and invest in them through significant professional opportunities, career advancement, training, and competitive wages.
