March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Did you know? The colon is another name for the large intestine (or large bowel), and the re**um is the passageway that connects the colon to the a**s. Most colorectal cancers begin as noncancerous growths called polyps. The good news is that removing polyps can help prevent cancer.

Healthcare providers recommend regular screenings for adults over the age of 45 and for those at higher risk. Screening tests can:

✔️ Detect precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer
✔️ Find colorectal cancer early, when treatment is most effective

There are several types of screening tests available. Talk with your doctor to determine which option is best for you.

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

Early detection saves lives. Don’t wait—get screened. 💙

Hearing the words “you have cancer” can feel overwhelming and deeply emotional. If you’ve been diagnosed with gallbladder or bile duct cancer, it’s normal to feel scared, confused, or unsure of what comes next.

Bringing questions to your appointment can help you feel more informed and empowered. Write them down ahead of time and take notes during your visit — there’s often a lot of information to process, and it’s hard to remember every detail.

Here are some important questions to get you started 👇

• What type of gallbladder or bile duct cancer do I have?
• What stage is it, and what does that mean?
• Has it spread anywhere else?
• What treatment options are available to me?
• What are the goals of treatment — cure, control, or symptom relief?
• What side effects should I expect?
• Should I see a specialist or get a second opinion?
• Are there clinical trials that might be right for me?

You deserve clear answers, support, and a care plan you understand. Don’t hesitate to ask questions — your voice matters.

Today is International Childhood Cancer Day 💛

This is a global day dedicated to raising awareness and standing in solidarity with children and adolescents facing cancer, the survivors, and the families who walk this journey alongside them.

At SFPTI, we work with children ages 15 and up, depending on their diagnosis. Proton therapy is especially effective in treating pediatric cancers because of the precision of its energy beams—helping target tumors while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.

The 2026 International Childhood Cancer Day campaign, “Demonstrating Impact,” highlights the power of collective action to improve survival rates and reduce inequalities in care worldwide. Today, we honor the courage of young patients and reaffirm our commitment to compassionate, advanced cancer treatment.

This Valentine’s Day ❤️ we celebrate the power of love, care, and compassion.

At the heart of healthcare is a commitment to people — to listening, understanding, and supporting each individual with empathy and respect. Every day, we’re inspired by the strength, resilience, and trust of those we serve.

Today, and every day, we’re proud to care with compassion and put people first. 💕

💚 February is Gallbladder & Bile Duct Cancer Awareness Month 💚

The gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver, stores bile to help digest fats. Gallbladder and bile duct cancers are rare but aggressive cancers that affect the digestive system — and they often develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. When symptoms do appear, they may be vague and easily misdiagnosed.

Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays (like X-rays) to destroy cancer cells and may play different roles in gallbladder cancer treatment.

It can be used after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells (adjuvant therapy), during surgery to target the tumor area more precisely (IORT), or as a main treatment when surgery isn’t an option. It may also be used for palliative care, helping relieve pain and other symptoms by shrinking tumors and easing blockages.

Awareness is key. Early evaluation of persistent or unexplained digestive symptoms can make a difference!

Today is World Cancer Day 💙

We stand together to raise awareness for all forms of cancer and to encourage prevention, early detection, and treatment.

People facing cancer are more than a diagnosis or a statistic. Behind every diagnosis is a unique human story — stories of grief and pain, but also of healing, resilience, love, and hope.

The World Cancer Day Campaign 2025–2027, “United by Unique,” places people at the center of care. At SFPTI, we are committed to a people-centered approach to cancer care — one that recognizes and integrates each individual’s unique needs with compassion and empathy.

Together, by being united by what makes us unique, we can continue to make a difference. 🤍

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.
