ConditionsWe Treat

Anemia

Anemia means that you don’t have enough healthy hemoglobin in your red blood cells, which compromises your body’s ability to deliver oxygen throughout your body. The doctors at Charleston Oncology specialize in blood disorders, including anemia, which cancer, cancer-related treatments, pregnancy, and many other conditions that create an iron deficiency may cause.

LEARN MORE

Bladder Cancer
Each year, more than 81,000 new cases of bladder cancer are diagnosed in the United States, overwhelmingly among men (by more than 3:1). Thankfully, this type of cancer isn’t aggressive, allowing ample time for treatment. To get this treatment, rely on the team at Charleston Oncology for the most up-to-date protocols.

LEARN MORE

Blood Disorders

To say that blood disorders have a far-reaching impact on your overall health would be an understatement. As experienced hematologists, the doctors at Charleston Oncology have a considerable depth of knowledge to help you fight most blood disorders, restoring balance to your health.

LEARN MORE

Bone Cancer
As the name implies, bone cancer affects the bones in your body, but it’s a relatively rare form of cancer, accounting for less than 1% of all cancer diagnoses. If you’re among this small number, you want to get the best treatment available, which the team at Charleston Oncology provides.

LEARN MORE

Brain Cancer
Brain cancer, which includes spinal cord tumors, is rare, with less than 24,000 new diagnoses each year in the United States, affecting both men and women. Brain cancer can be tricky to diagnose because benign brain tumors can have the same effect as malignant tumors, which is why you need the specialists at Charleston Oncology.

LEARN MORE

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer in women, and one in eight women in the United States develop this disease. While over a quarter of a million new cases are diagnosed on average each year, survival rates are getting higher, thanks to early detection and cutting-edge medicine and practices, like those found at Charleston Oncology.

LEARN MORE

Colorectal Cancer
Besides skin cancers, colorectal cancers are the third most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States, which includes colon cancer. The team at Charleston Oncology specializes in diagnosing and treating colon cancer in both men and women.

LEARN MORE

GI Cancer
Cancer can strike almost anywhere in your body, which is certainly true of your vast gastrointestinal (GI) system. GI cancer is a catchall category for a host of cancers that range from pancreatic to stomach cancer. To help you negotiate your GI cancer, the team at Charleston Oncology brings the latest treatments and science to bear in fighting your disease.

LEARN MORE

Head & Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancers account for 4% of all cancer diagnoses in the United States, which typically affect men and women over the age of 50. There are many different types of cancers that can affect your head or neck, which is why you need the group of specialists at Charleston Oncology to oversee your care.

LEARN MORE

Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer ranks among the top 10 cancers in both men and women in the United States, with more than 63,000 diagnoses each year. For comprehensive assessment and treatment of kidney cancer, the team at Charleston Oncology brings years of combined experience and the most cutting-edge treatments available to patients.

LEARN MORE

Leukemias
Each year, more than 60,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with leukemia. The good news is that survival rates of this type of cancer have more than quadrupled since 1960 thanks to ever-advancing treatments. At Charleston Oncology, the team of oncologists and hematologists provide these cutting-edge treatments to patients.

LEARN MORE

Liver Cancer
Liver cancer diagnoses are on the rise, having tripled since 1980, and today, more than 42,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the United States. This cancer can strike men and women of all ages and requires prompt intervention, which is where the team of oncologists at Charleston Oncology comes in.

LEARN MORE

Lung Cancer
While scare tactics are never a great way to present a topic, the fact is that lung cancer is far from the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States. And the statistics are still worrisome as 14% of newly diagnosed cancers are lung cancer. But there is hope with the right care.

LEARN MORE

Lymphomas

Lymphoma is a catchall term for some different cancers that start in your lymphatic system. The more common type of the disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers, accounting for 4% of all cancers in the United States. No matter what form your lymphoma takes, Charleston Oncology has the tools and expertise necessary to help you get the best treatment available.

LEARN MORE

Myelomas

Myeloma is an uncommon form of cancer that involves your blood, more specifically your plasma. If you’ve been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, the key to a successful outcome is to get a team of expert hematologists and oncologists to watch over your disease, intervening when necessary.

LEARN MORE

Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer accounts for 3% of all cancers in the United States and more than 55,000 men and women are diagnosed with the disease each year. This cancer is highly aggressive and requires prompt treatment, which Charleston Oncology provides. From clinical trials to standard chemotherapy, the team of oncologists ensures that patients have what they need to combat the disease.

LEARN MORE

Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow uncontrollably. Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas. These cancers develop from the gland cells (the cells that make the prostate fluid that is added to the semen).

LEARN MORE

Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and one in five people will develop the disease by the time they’re 70. While these numbers may sound scary, most cases of skin cancer are easily treatable. Some, however, are very serious, including melanoma, and warrant aggressive intervention. If you’ve been diagnosed with skin cancer, the team at Charleston Oncology helps you figure out your best treatment options.

LEARN MORE

Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer is uncommon, affecting only one out of every 250 men in the United States, with just over 9,000 cases reported each year. That said, it’s the most common cancer diagnosis in American males between the ages of 15 and 35. The good news is that this type of cancer is highly treatable, especially with the right team.
