Moffitt is one of 40 Comprehensive cancer centers in the United States, and the only one if Florida. See:

Moffitt and the other comprehensive cancer centers provide an interdisciplinary approach to patient care and treatment.

"Patients at Moffitt Cancer Center are evaluated and treated through clinical programs. Most oncology programs focus on specific organ or disease types and are made up of an interdisciplinary team of specialists.

Teams may include surgeons, medical oncologists or hematologists, pathologists, radiologists and radiation oncologists. This provides every patient an approach of comprehensive and coordinated care......"

Having the same calibre of oncology radiation equipment does not put a local, private radiation oncologist practice in the same league as an NCI-designated, not-for-profit Comprehensive Cancer Center like Moffitt.

Well researched!! Thank you for this explanation. That is what I thought, but you explained is so well.
