Cancer Support Resources in South Carolina
South Carolina’s cancer burden is shaped by the same forces that shape health across the rural South: poverty, geographic isolation, racial health disparities, and healthcare infrastructure that has struggled to keep pace with need. The state consistently ranks near the bottom nationally for cancer outcomes, and the reasons are not mysterious — they are the predictable result of systemic underinvestment in the communities that need the most support.
The Pee Dee region — the northeastern counties including Florence, Marion, Dillon, Marlboro, and Chesterfield — has some of the highest cancer mortality rates in the state, driven by a combination of deep poverty, limited healthcare access, high tobacco use, and late-stage diagnoses. This region is predominantly rural and Black, and the disparities in cancer outcomes between Black and white residents of these counties reflect decades of unequal access to screening, prevention, and treatment. Many patients in the Pee Dee drive 60 to 90 minutes to reach the closest comprehensive cancer program.
The Lowcountry — Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton, and Allendale counties — combines scenic coastal geography with some of the state’s most severe healthcare access gaps. Allendale County is one of the poorest counties in the United States, and its healthcare infrastructure is correspondingly minimal. Gullah Geechee communities along the Sea Islands and coastal areas have distinct cultural identities and, in many cases, complex relationships with the formal healthcare system rooted in historical distrust. Culturally responsive outreach and community-based navigation are especially important in reaching patients in these communities.
Charleston and Columbia anchor the state’s cancer care network. MUSC Hollings Cancer Center in Charleston is South Carolina’s only NCI-designated cancer center, and Prisma Health Cancer Institute in Columbia serves the Midlands region. For patients within driving distance of these cities, the care available is strong. For patients in rural counties more than an hour away — which describes a large portion of the state — the distance is a real barrier to accessing both treatment and support services.
South Carolina has a substantial military and veteran population. Fort Jackson in Columbia, Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, and Joint Base Charleston serve large active-duty communities, and the state has a high concentration of veterans who settled here after service. Veterans facing cancer diagnoses tied to service-related exposures may qualify for VA oncology benefits through the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston and the Dorn VA Medical Center in Columbia.
African American Southerners in South Carolina bear disproportionately high cancer burdens across multiple cancer types — higher incidence rates for colorectal and prostate cancer, higher mortality rates, and higher rates of late-stage diagnosis that reflect systemic barriers to early detection and timely care. Community-based organizations working specifically within Black communities are among the most important resources in this directory. This guide connects patients and families across the Palmetto State with verified cancer support resources — statewide programs first, then by region.
