Florida Cancer specialists & Research Institute is an independent medical oncology and hematology practice founded in 1984. The organisation operates nearly 100 locations throughout Florida and employs over 250 physicians alongside 220 nurse practitioners and physician assistants, making it the largest independent medical oncology and hematology practice in the United States.
The practice delivers two core services. It provides medical oncology and hematology care directly to cancer patients across its network of clinics. In parallel, it operates a substantial clinical research programme that participates in investigational cancer therapies and clinical trials. The practice offers access to more clinical trials than any other private oncology practice in Florida and has participated in trials for the majority of new cancer drugs approved in the United States over the past five years. The organisation holds recognition from the American Society of Clinical oncology for its national Clinical trials participation award.
Through a strategic partnership with Sarah cannon, the practice functions as one of the largest clinical research organisations in the United States. This dual focus on patient care delivery and research participation positions the organisation as both a treatment provider and a participant in drug development pathways that support regulatory approvals.
