The University of Florida Health Cancer Center stands alone in the state of Florida in its unique ability to blend comprehensive patient care and innovative research in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. It boasts a membership of more than 230 researchers and clinicians from across the University of Florida and UF Health, the Southeast’s most comprehensive academic health center. The UFHCC and its members are dedicated to providing leading-edge cancer care and conducting original research for the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

One of the great benefits of receiving cancer care at an academic health center like UF Health is unique patient access to the most advanced medical research, treatments and technologies. Our clinician-scientists participate in research that has a direct impact on improved patient outcomes, and allows patients access to the very latest cancer-fighting technologies and drugs. Activities and programs are acutely focused on early-stage translational research that applies findings to clinical trials, resulting in improved patient care.
Our leadership works with lab-based faculty to develop new ideas to collaborate on innovative cancer treatments and therapies.

This section reviews our research programs, research headlines, 2017 recruits, selected publications and Research Day 2017.
