Oncology

Greenville & Washington County Oncology

An oncologist is a doctor who treats cancer and provides medical care for a person diagnosed with cancer. A medical oncologist treats cancer using chemotherapy or other medications, such as targeted therapy or immunotherapy. Our trained oncologists’ role includes explaining the cancer diagnosis and the meaning of the disease stage to the patient; discussing various treatment options; recommending the best course of treatment; delivering optimal care; and improving quality of life both through curative therapy and palliative care with pain and symptom management.

At The Medical Center, our oncologists strive to create trusting relationships with patients so that you can feel comfortable speaking up when you need help. Our team works to deliver optimal care and improve the quality of life.

Radiation Oncology

Radiation oncology is a specialized area of cancer care that uses high-energy radiation to treat cancer and reduce tumors. Radiation treatments are carefully planned to target cancer cells while protecting as much healthy tissue as possible.
Radiation works by damaging the DNA inside cancer cells, which stops them from growing and spreading. Over time, the body naturally removes the damaged cancer cells. Because treatment is delivered with precision, nearby healthy cells can often recover and heal.
