We are recognized by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) with a national Clinical Trials Participation Award, and FCS offers patients access to more clinical trials than any private oncology practice in Florida.

Our patients have access to ground‑breaking therapies in a community setting, and may participate in national clinical research studies of drugs and treatment protocols. In the past five years, the majority of new cancer drugs approved for use in the U.S. were studied in clinical trials with FCS participation before approval.

Through our partnership with Sarah Cannon, we are one of the largest clinical research organizations in the United States. Often, FCS leads the nation in initiating research studies and offering ground‑breaking new therapies to patients.
