two of the leading her2+ breast cancer specialists are in Florida

not Tampa, however

1) Mark Pegram, who developed Herceptin together with Dr. Slamon
http://www.sylvester.org/research/KB...sp?id=m_pegram and moved recently from UCLA to Miami
and

2) Edith Perez the head of the North American arms of the adjuvant herceptin clinical trials, who is at Mayo Clinic's Ft. Lauderdale branch
http://www.mayoclinic.org/bio/12305359.html

I think I may have read and heard talks from oncologists from Moffitt so will look at their website and report back
