Expert Cancer Care in Tampa, Florida

BayCare is proud to be bringing proton therapy treatment to cancer patients, starting in 2026. This innovative type of radiation therapy delivers precisely targeted beams of positively charged particles, called protons, to tumor sites in adults and children. For patients who have tumors on or near critical organs and structures, this pinpoint targeting helps result in less damage to nearby healthy tissues and organs, which can mean higher cure rates and fewer side effects. Many patients treated with proton therapy continue their daily activities while under treatment. Proton therapy has become the treatment of choice for pediatric and many adult patients who require radiation therapy.

St. Joseph’s Hospital offers a wide range of chemotherapy services and symptom management for patients with all types of cancer. We provide inpatient care at our dedicated oncology unit and convenient outpatient services through our ambulatory infusion center. Our team of experienced oncologists, nurses, pharmacists and other specialists collaborate closely to develop personalized treatment plans and provide comprehensive support, and our dedicated on-site pharmacists and nutritional therapists are available for one-on-one consultations. We also work with a network of home health agencies and community resources to make sure that patients, and their families, have access to the support they need throughout their cancer journey.
