I don't know about the State of Florida but in Michigan radiation equipment is very tightly controlled. In Michigan there has to be a proposal with a certificate of need for the radiation facility. The thought is that it would benefit the patient to have facilities that are conveniently located. Some radiation treatments last 23 sessions. Perhaps it is to help those who don't wish to travel to Tampa.
