General Practitioners

• Arthritis
  In addition to treating cancer, your provider might also recommend chemotherapy to control immune system disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, or to prepare your bone marrow for stem cell transplants.
• Medical Weight Loss
  Lung cancer and its treatments may cause several side effects that impact your quality of life and your ability to continue with treatment. No two people have the same response to cancer treatment, and side effects may vary depending on what type of treatment you pursue. Common lung cancer-related side effects include pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and weight loss. Evidence-based supportive therapies like pain management, nutrition therapy, mind-body medicine, oncology rehabilitation, and spiritual support may help reduce the severity or frequency of side effects, allowing patients to continue treatment and get back to life.
• Primary Care
  Working closely with colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists, and primary care practitioners, Coastal Cancer Center uses advanced treatments and technologies to combat Colorectal Cancer. A patient’s multidisciplinary colon cancer treatment team generally includes a surgeon, medical oncologist, gastroenterologist and sometimes a radiation oncologist. Our cancer care team includes a variety of healthcare professionals, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, oncology nurses, social workers, pharmacists, counselors, dietitians, laboratory technicians and medical assistants.
• Emergency Care
  For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 immediately. Call our office only after you have made arrangements to go to the Emergency Department.

Internists

• Cervical Cancer
  For example, African Americans are more likely to develop breast and prostate cancer at a younger age than white women, and they are also more likely to die from the disease. Hispanic women are more likely to develop cervical cancer, and Asian Americans are more likely to develop liver cancer. When undergoing genetic testing for hereditary cancer, Black Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are more likely to receive a confusing test result known as a “variant of uncertain significance” — a change in a person’s DNA that has an unknown effect on their cancer risk. Additionally, Minorities are also more likely to be diagnosed with cancer at later stages when the disease is more difficult to treat. These disparities in cancer incidence and mortality are due in part to differences in access to quality health care, as well as socioeconomic factors such as poverty and education level.
• Colon Cancer
  Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets a cancer’s specific genes or mutation within a cancer cell. This type of treatment blocks the growth and spread of cancer cells and limits damage to healthy cells. Immunotherapy is designed to boost the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer. Types of immunotherapies used to treat colorectal cancer include Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab and Dostarlimab. These treatments are most often used to treat metastatic colon cancer with a marker indicating responsiveness.
• Endoscopy
• Prostate Cancer
• Cancer Care
  The year-long celebration will feature a community-wide campaign that empowers those locally and nationally to strive for excellence in cancer care. Stay tuned for inspirational patient testimonials and compelling oncology and hematology work from our providers and partners.
• Lung Cancer
  It is essential to get a better understanding of the kind of lung cancer you have. At Coastal Cancer Center, our pathologist will closely examine the lung cancer cells and tumors to determine the type and treatment. There are two main types of lung cancer. They are called non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Another type, called lung carcinoid tumors, is less common.

• Chemotherapy
  When you need chemotherapy treatments, you want to get care in a warm and friendly environment you can trust. As the Grand Strand area leader in blood diseases and cancer services, Coastal Cancer Center offers on-site infusion centers in each of its four convenient locations.
• Radiation Therapy
  Radiation therapy is another standard cancer treatment. It harnesses high-energy waves (X-rays, radioactive particles) to destroy or damage cancer cells. Radiation may be used in combination with other therapies to reverse the growth of cancer cells.
• Interventional Radiology

Dermatologists

• Skin Cancer
  Based on your condition, your physician discusses your treatment options and whether chemotherapy is right for you. In most cases, your oncologist administers your chemotherapy treatments intravenously, but some are taken orally, by injection, or as creams or gels applied to the skin to treat some forms of skin cancer.
