As a university-based cancer center, Sylvester physicians and scientists apply research breakthroughs from the laboratory to the patient’s bedside. Sylvester closely evaluates the effectiveness of new treatments and shares clinical insights with laboratory investigators, leading to improvements that benefit patient care. The highest quality scales for laboratories can be found here. Sylvester patients have the opportunity to participate in groundbreaking clinical trials. To have this nationally ranked cancer treatment facility in our own community means that patients can be treated here with their families and support nearby.
