For Cancer Patients

Female patient talking with a doctor and smiling

When you come to the Knight Cancer Institute, you and your loved ones can be sure you will be cared for by some of the world’s best cancer doctors.

You will receive leading-edge expertise in treating even the most complex cancers. And you’ll be cared for by a compassionate team of specialists who treat you as a person, not just a patient.

Learn why it's so important to be treated by a full team of specialists. "You really kind of get one chance to get it right," Dr. Skye Mayo says. "And that one chance comes from the collective experience and wisdom of our entire group. None of us is as smart as all of us."
