Registered Nurse II - Radiation Oncology

Overview

MUSC has 3 radiation oncology clinics in the Charleston area:
Hollings Cancer Center, MUSC Main Hospital, and MUSC Radiation Oncology in Mount Pleasant. These clinics manage and treat patients with complex cancer diagnoses at differing stages. We see patients of all ages, although we predominantly treat adults. We treat all diagnoses, but the most common are neurologic, head and neck, gynecologic, breast, lung/thoracic, gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GI), prostate, and sarcomas.

The treatment modalities include external beam radiation, brachytherapy, and gamma knife.
