OneOncology and its US-based partner Coastal Cancer Center have acquired two radiation oncology centres from GenesisCare.  

The acquired facilities are located in Myrtle Beach and Conway, South Carolina.  

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.  

A total of three radiation oncologists and 40 employees from the acquired entities will now become part of Coastal Cancer Center.  

They will continue to provide healthcare services to patients at both centres, which together have a total of four linear accelerators, essential for delivering external-beam radiation therapy. 

The Myrtle Beach centre features three linear accelerators while the Conway centre has one.  

Linear accelerators are pivotal in treating various cancers via external-beam radiation therapy with precision, minimising damage to healthy tissue. 

These are primarily used for treating cancers of the skin, lungs, head, cervix, neck, breast, prostate, and brain. 

OneOncology CEO Jeff Patton said: “By helping Coastal Cancer Center expand into radiology oncology, OneOncology is fulfilling its mission to assist our independent practice partners by identifying and executing strategies to remain independent, grow, and bring high-value cancer care services to their patients, employers, and payors.” 

National physician-led organisation OneOncology supports a network of independent oncology practices, including Coastal Cancer Center.  

With over 1,000 providers, OneOncology serves more than 640,000 patients annually. 

Meanwhile, GenesisCare operates over 440 centres globally, with a presence in the US, UK, Spain, and Australia.
