Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute

Florida Cancer Specialists and Research Institute, based in Fort Myers, is one of the largest independent oncology practices in the United States and a leading phase 1 enroller through its Drug Development Unit. It runs about one hundred sites, achieves high trial accrual, and operates treatment pathways and value-based care programmes. OnCo links it to community oncology and site networks. Whether community practices can run first-in-human trials to the same standard as academic centres, which its accrual suggests, is the question its model tests. The community oncology page carries the wider picture.
