COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – For more than 50 years, South Carolina Oncology Associates (SCOA) has been providing cancer care to patients across the Midlands- though many still don’t realize such a large, full-service care center exists right here in Columbia.
With 35 providers specializing in all types of cancer, SCOA’s collaborative approach means patients directly benefit from the combined expertise of the entire medical team.
The center also invests heavily in advanced technology, including state-of-the-art radiation machines, diagnostic imaging, and on-site radiologists. This allows patients to receive scan results within an hour- a speed that sets SCOA apart.
Beyond technology, the focus remains on patient experience. From renovating the chemotherapy floor for comfort to relying on a deeply compassionate nursing staff, the team emphasizes treating the person, not just the disease.
Affordability is another key difference. As a private center, SCOA typically offers care at about half the cost of hospital-based treatment. And with a simple online request form, new patients can easily transfer or begin their care. Learn more or request an appointment by visiting SCOA’s website or click here.
