Advocate Radiation Oncology marks fifth anniversary of Tamarac cancer treatment center

TAMARAC, Fla. - EntSun -- Advocate Radiation Oncology recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of its cancer treatment center in Tamarac, which specializes in treating breast, prostate, lung, head, neck and other types of cancers.

Advocate's Tamarac cancer treatment center features Varian's TrueBeam linear accelerator, a state-of-the-art system that precisely targets and destroys tumor cells using external-beam radiation. The center is led by a pair of board-certified radiation oncologists, Drs. Thomas Klein and Georges Hobeika.

"Having been at the Tamarac center since day one, it's gratifying to have played in role in the cancer journey for hundreds of patients who have walked through our doors over the past five years," Klein said. "Our team is fully committed to providing world-class, compassionate care, and our central location in Broward County means families from Tamarac, North Lauderdale, Margate and surrounding communities only have to travel a few minutes for their treatments."

"Advocate promotes an evidence-based approach to cancer care that always puts patients first, so it was an easy decision to join the practice as Advocate expanded its footprint in South Florida," Hobeika said. "After a cancer diagnosis, it's a very emotional, challenging time in someone's life, but our team does a great job partnering with patients and their families throughout their cancer journey."

Hobeika's arrival at Advocate Radiation Oncology coincided with the practice's 2022 addition of a cancer treatment center in West Palm Beach. That expansion was followed in 2024 by new locations at Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale and Broward Health North in Pompano Beach.
