MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - SCaroNews -- Myrtle Beach, SC: Coastal Cancer Center is proud to announce the groundbreaking of its state-of-the-art radiation center in Myrtle Beach. "Our community is expanding, and so are we!" said Dr. Emily Touloukian, D.O., president and CEO of Coastal Cancer Center, which incorporated radiation services in 2024 to support the needs of the growing population. The new radiation center will be at 4600 Wild Iris Drive in Myrtle Beach.

When complete, the 13,400 square-foot facility will house two new linear accelerators, with the potential to expand to three in the future. Medical linear accelerators, also known as LINACs, treat cancerous areas with high-energy X-rays or electrons that conform to the tumor's shape, sparing healthy tissues while destroying cancer cells. Using linear accelerators improves patient outcomes and tailors treatments to each patient's needs.
