Moffitt’s skin cancer treatment team

Moffitt’s Cutaneous Oncology Program, which is led by Vernon Sondak, MD, is widely regarded as one of the premier skin cancer programs in the nation. Our patients can receive all-encompassing treatment and care from:

• Dermatologists
• Medical oncologists
• Radiation oncologists
• Surgical oncologists
• Pathologists / Dermatopathologists
• Radiologists
• Plastic surgeons
• Supportive care professionals

Our cutaneous oncology specialists collaborate to create individualized treatment plans for each and every patient, refining them as necessary to ensure the best possible outcome and quality of life for those we serve. Moffitt offers the latest advances in skin cancer treatment, such as cryotherapy and immunotherapy, as well as traditional procedures, such as Mohs micrographic surgery and electrodessication. Targeted radiation therapy and chemotherapy may also be recommended for certain patients.

Furthermore, Moffitt spearheads an ambitious clinical trials program that allows our patients to receive breakthrough treatments before those options are made widely available. Our relentless research efforts have resulted in multiple distinctions from the National Cancer Institute, including a Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant for melanoma research and recognition as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Moffitt is the only such center based in Florida.
