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 and may participate in national clinical research studies.

Through our partnership with Sarah Cannon, we are one of the largest clinical research organizations in the United States.
