Urologic Oncology Fellowship
The Urologic Oncology Fellowship at Moffitt Cancer Center is a two-year program, composed of one year of research and one year of clinical experience, accredited by the Society of Urologic Oncology. The research year involves clinical, translational and/or bench research. The clinical year involves a broad experience in all aspects of genitourinary oncology including a hands-on experience in complex and open, minimally invasive and robotic surgery. The majority of the clinical activity is performed at Moffitt Cancer Center and outpatient clinics and surgical centers, however a small fraction of complex operations that require cardiothoracic and/or vascular surgical support are done at the affiliate site, Tampa General Hospital.
The Moffitt Cancer Center SUO fellowship was started in 2009 with one fellow per year and has subsequently expanded to a three fellow per year program. The fellowship has five full-time faculty members who comprise the highest surgical volume by the department in the institute. The faculty members perform over 700 major operations per year and over 900 endoscopic operations per year.
Moffitt Cancer Center is the only NCI-designate Comprehensive Cancer Center based in the state of Florida. The Genitourinary Program is a national leader in urologic malignancies with faculty that chair and participate in national guideline committees. Ongoing research within the program includes investigator-initiated trials, industry-sponsored trials and cooperative group trials.
Tampa General Hospital is a 1,011-bed hospital and a regional trauma center. Typically high-level IVC thrombus cases that require cardiothoracic and/or cardiothoracic surgery support as well as patients with high-risk cardiovascular disease will often have operations at this facility. Fellows will undergo the credentialing process in order to participate in these complex cases.
