We are very happy to announce the opening of the Atlantic Coast Regional Cancer Center (ACRCC), a radiation oncology facility which will offer state of the art, advanced cancer treatment for our patients in Horry and Georgetown counties. ACRCC officially opened December 15th, and will now initiate advanced radiation therapy for our patients.
ACRCC is proudly affiliated with Atlantic Urology Specialists and its dedication to comprehensive, coordinated oncology care. ACRCC also has close collaboration with START Carolinas Cancer Research, offering cutting-edge clinical trials research.
Clinical leadership for the center includes Dr. John Sylvester, a nationally recognized Radiation Oncologist with more than three decades of experience in urologic cancer treatment. Dr. Sylvester is a Fellow of the American Brachytherapy Society and has authored or co-authored more than 90 peer-reviewed publications, contributed to multiple medical textbooks, and played a key role in advancing image-guided and precision radiation therapies.
Dr. Sylvester has held leadership roles at prominent cancer centers across the country and is widely regarded for his clinical expertise, research contributions, and commitment to improving patient outcomes. His involvement ensures the Atlantic Coast Regional Cancer Center will deliver evidence based, technologically advanced radiation treatments aligned with national standards of excellence.
“I’m excited to join the team at Atlantic Urology Specialists and START,” said Dr. Sylvester. “Face-to-face patient care is my main focus. I find participating in and writing clinical research protocols that I can offer my patients further improve their outcomes and experience. Here at ACRCC, we not only have top-quality radiation therapy equipment and personnel, but we will also be able to bring brachytherapy to this region and participate in radiopharmaceutical first-in-human protocols. Being able to offer all potential therapies to our patients is critically important. Here, the synergies between ACRCC, AUS, and START allow us to do that.”
