Radiation Oncology
SCOA has been the pacesetter in radiation oncology in South Carolina and much of the Southeast. We were the first in South Carolina to implement revolutionary radiation therapy treatments including IMRT, BAT Ultrasound prostate targeting and we are the only private practice in the Southeast with Gamma Knife technology. Our radiation oncologists are experts in evaluating cancer and treatment options, and together with our medical physicists, are board certified by the American Board of Radiology.
The SCOA radiation oncology and medical physicists team works closely with neurosurgeons around the state in the Gamma Knife Center of the Carolinas, where brain tumor, vascular abnormalities and other neurologic conditions are treated on an outpatient basis rather than with complicated invasive surgery that requires prolonged hospitalization. They work closely with medical oncologists and nursing staff to plan and administer radiation therapy in the most effective and aggressive manner possible without compromising our patients’ health and safety. Our participation in clinical research trials with prominent NCI-affiliated (National Cancer Institute) groups brings cutting-edge therapy to South Carolina.
