We are proud to be celebrating our fourth anniversary as an independent oncology practice here in the Tampa Bay region. In four years, we’ve accomplished a lot and be honored to help over 2,000 patients in their cancer journeys. Here are a few of our highlights:

1) Grown from 1 to 4 providers
2) Expanded to a second office in Winter Haven, FL
3) Added a new, state of the art linear accelerator
4) We were the first (and still only) group to bring AccuBoost to Tampa Bay, changing the way breast cancer is treated
5) Provided over $500,000 in charity care to underserved patients in our community
6) Provided over $200,000 in cash contributions to local non profits and schools in support of our community.

We thank you all for your ongoing support and for placing your trust in our providers. It is an honor and privilege to take care of our friends and families in this community!

Great article on a technique we use for EVERY left sided breast cancer patient - despite the added cost or time required.

“Heart-sparing deep inspiration breath-hold vs free-breathing radiation therapy technique is cost-effective—despite increasing treatment time—and may improve the long-term cardiovascular health of patients with left-sided breast cancer.

“With the deep inspiration breath-hold technique, patients hold their breath during radiation therapy, effectively displacing the heart from the radiation field,” the investigators remarked. “The superior dosimetric performance of [this heart-sparing technique] over free breathing has been confirmed in a meta-analysis, … [but] financial investments and the potential impacts on workflow represent significant barriers to widespread implementation.”

A model-based analysis suggested that the heart-sparing deep inspiration breath-hold vs free-breathing radiation therapy technique is cost-effective—despite increasing treatment time—and may improve t...
