Survivorship and Cancer Outcomes Research

Founded in 2022 to meet the needs of the growing population of cancer survivors and their caregivers, the Survivorship and Cancer Outcomes Research (SCOR) Initiative at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center provides a transdisciplinary hub for collaboration between clinicians and researchers in survivorship, cancer care delivery and cancer outcomes. SCOR’s founding mission is to:

  1. Deliver evidence-based, equitable, accessible and patient-centered care to cancer survivors.
  2. Foster transformative and paradigm-changing research in cancer survivorship, outcomes and care delivery.
  3. Establish a pipeline to inspire, train and retain the next generation of survivorship and cancer care delivery researchers.
  4. Engage the South Carolina community to advance awareness of cancer survivorship.

    Using research to improve survivorship care

    To fulfill its mission, SCOR brings together cancer researchers with expertise in behavioral science, biostatistics, clinical informatics, clinical trials, health care delivery, health economics, implementation science, mHealth, patient-reported outcomes and symptom management from across the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Health Professions.

    Clinician members of SCOR have a wealth of expertise in cardio-oncology, financial counseling, nutrition, onco-primary care, pain management, palliative care, physical therapy, psycho-oncology, social work, speech language pathology and tobacco treatment.

    The SCOR organizational structure provides a unique opportunity to leverage synergy between clinical oncology operations and survivorship and cancer outcomes research to decrease morbidity and improve quality of life among cancer survivors and their caregivers.
