Cancer

The Care You Need. When You Need It Most.

Cancer comes in many forms - and strikes in many different ways. Which is why the more options you have to fight cancer, the better chance you have of beating it.

As the community's leader in cancer care, Morton Plant Mease offers many options to identify and treat breast, prostate, lung, brain, gynecologic and other cancers. Our menu of services includes the most advanced diagnostic and clinical procedures available, all performed by board-certified oncologists, radiologists and surgeons.

But it's more than our variety of services that makes Morton Plant Mease unique. It's our commitment to high-quality in all aspects of cancer care that truly sets us apart. We have the only three fellowship-trained surgical oncologists in Pinellas and Pasco counties. Our facilities are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools to help detect tumors in their earliest stages. Our surgeons use state-of-the-art techniques for more precise, less invasive procedures. Our patients have access to pioneering clinical research protocols. And our free support services are provided by sensitive, caring professionals.

Experience. Innovation. Compassion. It's everything you need in the fight against cancer. And it's all at Morton Plant Mease.

The Power of Morton Plant Mease and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center

We're proud to be the first health care system in Tampa Bay to have partnered with the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. With two of the area's preeminent health care organizations working together, your treatment options are practically limitless. Medical options are more varied. Radiation options are safer. Surgical options are less invasive.

Our partnership with Moffitt also gives our patients more opportunities to participate in clinical research studies. For example, Morton Plant Mease is currently partnered with Moffitt in a project called "Total Cancer Care" - a study designed to characterize cancers genetically to better understand their natures and lead to customized treatments and improved outcomes.
