University of Miami - Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center

Sylvester comprehensive cancer center supports research and outreach in the cancer prevention, early detection, and survivorship. Such efforts primarily target culturally-diverse communities throughout South Florida, including those characterized by health disparity and lack of access to the formal healthcare system. Much of our work is grounded in the principles of stakeholder engagement, where patients, religious leaders, and community activists work collaboratively with our scientists and clinicians to ensure that our cancer control initiatives match community need.
