The Cancer Committee at the Center for Cancer Care &
Research (CCCR) is proud to present our annual report of activities and data for 2006.
CCCR is a freestanding cancer center featuring a physician-led partnership between Watson Clinic LLP,
Clark & Daughtrey Medical Group, P.A. and the finest independent physicians
in the area. We provide
state-of-the-art outpatient cancer care including chemotherapy and radiation
therapy, as well as a full range of cancer care services available by
referral. In addition:
- We are the area’s only local affiliate of the H. Lee Moffitt
Cancer Center & Research Institute in Tampa, Florida.
- We are involved in innovative national clinical trials and
conduct many on-site cancer research activities in concert with Moffitt’s
efforts.
- We are one of the leading partners in Moffitt’s Total Cancer
Care project, a research program that aims to provide more personalized cancer
treatments through advanced genetic tumor study.
- We maintain a full inventory of the most advanced
technologies available in cancer care, including PET scans, ultra-speed CT
scanners, computer aided detection of breast cancer, 3-dimensional conformal
radiation therapy, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, high dose rate
brachytherapy, mammosite therapy, and prostate seed therapy.
- We lead the way in introducing the most innovative technologies and treatments to our area, including da Vinciâ robotics for various gynecologic oncology and urology procedures, and the revolutionary PillCam for less invasive detection of gastrointestinal tumors.
- We have established and solidified relationships with
organizations dedicated to defeating cancer, including the Leukemia Lymphoma
Society, American Cancer Society and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation. We are frequent sponsors of
many local and national events, including Light the Night, Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer, Relay for Life, the Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon,
Cancer Survivor’s Dinner and Cancer Survivor’s Day. A team consisting of
several members of the CCCR nursing staff single-handedly raised well over
$50,000 in 2006 for the Komen’s 3-Day Walk event.
- We are partnered with the newly constructed Watson Clinic Women’s Center, a beautifully designed clinic that brings an unrivaled level of
breast healthcare to women throughout the community. An inventory of state-of-the-art technologies compliment an expert
team that includes radiologists, mammographers, and a renowned breast surgeon
and plastic reconstructive surgeon.
Since our inception in 2003, we have led the way in providing exceptional, physician-driven cancer care to our community. We are pleased to present our 2006 annual
report not only as a means to understand our rates of success, but to track
certain trends within the communities we serve.
