About Orlando Health Cancer Institute: 

One of the largest cancer care providers in Florida, Orlando Health Cancer Institute is guided by its vision “to be a national leader by providing exceptional cancer care and a personalized experience.” The realization of that vision includes a focus on an expanding footprint, enhanced services and treatments, advancements in technology, and an ever-growing team of interdisciplinary cancer experts specializing in more than 200 types of cancer. The institute’s dedicated medical staff consists of more than 60 medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, as well as pathologists, advanced practice providers, nurse and clinical specialists, and support staff such as pharmacists, dietitians and counselors. We also reach across specialties as needed, into areas like neurosurgery, pancreatology, colon and rectal surgery, and endocrinology. This multidisciplinary team approach means that each patient benefits from the expertise of a team of specialists who work together to develop a coordinated, personalized care plan, across the cancer-care continuum. These teams meet several times a week in tumor boards to talk through each patient’s treatment plan and progression. 

The institute continues to introduce and further novel technologies to ensure top-notch services, such as new advanced radiation and proton therapies, bone marrow transplant and cellular therapy, and cancer-related aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Through a robust research program, the institute also supports physician involvement in numerous research studies and clinical trials that gives patients access to innovative diagnosis, treatment and symptom management options. 

While the institute’s comprehensive care includes an expert team of medical professionals, advanced technology and leading-edge research, we recognize there is more to cancer care. To treat the whole person — body, mind and spirit — the institute offers supportive and palliative care, cancer genetic counseling and high-risk care, and complementary services through various wellness programs, integrative medicine and a Cancer Support Community. 

In addition to an all-inclusive facility on Orlando Health’s downtown campus, Orlando Health Cancer Institute has five additional treatment locations, in Clermont, Dr. Phillips area, St. Cloud, Lake Mary and Ocoee; more than 10 practice locations; and expanded options for virtual appointments and consultations.
