Dr. Andrew S. Kraft Director, Hollings Cancer Center

Greetings to you from the Hollings Cancer Center (HCC) at the Medical University of South Carolina. I have been working diligently with research, physician and community leaders from MUSC, South Carolina, and other national cancer programs to ensure HCC has the infrastructure and resources to conduct cutting-edge research and provide accessible care to all South Carolinians.

We have recruited renowned specialists and scientists, completed a significant expansion to our building, secured funding for a new Drug Discovery Building, dramatically increased our National Cancer Institute research funding, launched a statewide clinical trials network, and introduced the first mobile health unit with digital mammography to rural South Carolina counties. 

We also secured MUSC's first National Institutes of Health post-doctoral training grant to support young investigators interested in new anticancer drugs. These are just a few of the outstanding milestones we've reached, and we hope our web site provides easy access to more information about our plans.

I promise the citizens of South Carolina we will persevere in developing Hollings Cancer Center into the state's best resource -- and one of the nation's best centers -- for developing new knowledge about cancer and translating that knowledge into effective prevention and treatment. I hope you will not hesitate to contact me or any of the other dedicated faculty and staff here if we can serve you.
