North Florida Cancer & Blood Disorders Research
Cancer & Blood Disorders Research in Jacksonville
In Jacksonville, THE PLAYERS Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders brings together research and clinical expertise in a facility designed around the needs of children and families across North Florida in Jacksonville and Pensacola. Serving as the regional base for enterprisewide cancer and blood disorder studies, our team contributes to major national research initiatives like NCORP.
We advance care for children through partnerships with local institutions such as Wolfson Children鈥檚 Hospital and UF/Shands. This site also offers CAR-T cell therapy, bone marrow transplant research, and trials for solid tumors, leukemia, and survivorship.
Research discoveries directly inform the care we provide patients in a clincal setting.听
