April is Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness Month ❤️🤍

Early-stage oral, head, and neck cancers often show little to no symptoms—or only subtle changes—making regular screenings incredibly important. When detected early, these cancers are highly treatable, and outcomes are significantly better.

Knowing the warning signs can make all the difference. Stay informed, listen to your body, and don’t hesitate to speak with your physician if something feels off.

This is Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Awareness Month 💛

Cancer is challenging at any age—but for adolescents and young adults, it comes with unique complexities. From diagnosis to treatment and beyond, the journey can look very different.

This month, we honor the strength, resilience, and courage of young people facing cancer. We see you, we support you, and you are not alone.

Cancers in the AYA population are rare and diverse, often differing from those seen in younger children or older adults—making awareness, research, and specialized care so important.

SFPTI works with children 15 and older. If you or a loved one are navigating this journey, our board-certified team at SFPTI is here to help.

March is Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month ❤️

Screening plays an important role in detecting disease early—often before symptoms appear. White blood cells are a key part of the immune system, helping the body fight infections and other illnesses.

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a simple test that measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In patients with multiple myeloma, abnormal cells in the bone marrow can affect these levels—most commonly causing a low red blood cell count, also known as anemia.

If you have concerns or would like to learn more, our board-certified radiation oncologists are here to help.

Hearing the words “you have cancer” can feel overwhelming and emotional. If you’ve been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, having a few key questions ready can help you feel more informed and supported.

It’s also helpful to take notes during your appointment. There is often a lot of information shared, and writing things down can make it easier to review the details later.

We at SFPTI are here for you. If you get home and realize you have more questions, please reach out to us! It is our goal for you to have understanding of what is happening and feel knowledgeable when making your decisions.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. for both men and women combined, but screening can help detect it early—often before symptoms appear.

There are two main types of screening tests:

• Stool-based tests: check for signs of cancer in your stool. These are non-invasive and easy to complete, but need to be done more often.
• Visual exams: look directly at the colon and re**um using a scope or special imaging to find abnormal areas.

Talk to your doctor about when you should start screening—it could save your life.

To schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified radiation oncologists at SFPTI, call 561-323-6498 or email info@sfpti.com.

Hearing a diagnosis of kidney cancer can feel overwhelming and bring up many emotions. Having a list of questions ready can help you feel more informed and prepared during your appointments.

If you’ve recently been diagnosed, consider writing down a few questions to bring to your doctor. This can help ensure you leave your visit with a clearer understanding of your diagnosis, treatment options, and next steps.

Do not be hesitant to ask a loved one to come with you! Having a second person take notes and ask questions can be invaluable.

About SFPTI

"Proton therapy is the latest and by far the most advanced radiation treatment available. At SFPTI we use these highly precise particle beams instead of traditional x-rays to treat tumors more precisely, with much less exposure to the surrounding normal tissues. Proton therapy can be used to treat children with cancer as well as adult tumors of the brain, spine, head and neck, lung, prostate, GI tract, and breast tumors. We are truly grateful to finally be able to make this long standing vision of bringing this world-class technology to south Florida a reality." SFPTI is led by Medical Director, Tim R. Williams, M.D., together with Scott A. Gasiorek M.D. With nearly 60 years of combined radiation oncology experience, they are among the most trusted and respected radiation oncologists in Palm Beach County. Dr. Charles Shang is the Director of Medical Physics and is one of the industry’s preeminent medical physicists, having practiced for over 30 years. He works closely with the physicians to devise the safest and most effective treatment plans for our patients.
