NCI-designated cancer centers are a major source in developing new cancer treatments and more effective approaches to cancer prevention and diagnosis. These cancer research centers deliver medical advances to patients and their families, educate health care professionals and the public, and reach out to underserved populations.

Better Patient Care
Patients are why Hollings Cancer Center pursued this designation. Patients do not need to leave South Carolina for new cancer treatments and NCI cancer clinical trials. Patients can receive the most advanced care from South Carolina’s only NCI-designated cancer center right here in Charleston. NCI designation also means Hollings can continue to attract the best researchers and physicians and to increase research funding through NCI grants and other sources.
