Moffitt uses a interdisciplinary approach. This means you are treated by a team of doctors of varied disciplines. As I said, I was treated 7 years ago at Moffitt. My team consisted of my surgeon, radiation oncologist, oncologist, and pathologist. I can't begin to say how important your pathologist is. Also, I did not need reconstruction, but if reconstruction is needed, you will have plastic surgeon on your team.

Does this help anyone. Your team is in one place and they can meet and discuss your condition.
