Recognizing that cancer patients’ needs are very specific, Drs.
(285)

Gibbs Cancer Center has its roots deep in the Upstate, from the time it was just a dream of two doctors to the world-class treatment and research center it has become today. Jay Bearden and Julian Josey began by convincing administrators at Spartanburg Regional Hospital to allow them to consolidate all existing cancer treatment and support services into a dedicated, single-floor unit, a coordinated-services approach that was virtually unheard of at the time. Local business leaders and philanthropists Jimmy and Marsha Gibbs brought the dream a step closer with a generous $1.2 million lead gift toward establishing a standalone center dedicated exclusively to the treatment of cancer. Gibbs has several locations across the upstate of South Carolina, including Comprehensive Cancer Centers at both Spartanburg Medical Center and Pelham Medical Center. Gibbs Cancer Center & Research Institute serves to provide leading edge research and treatment in a facility equipped with the most advanced diagnostic and treatment tools.

We're glad to celebrate Dr. Michael Humeniuk and our oncology research team for their contributions to clinical trial A222001, recently published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

This study found that men with prostate cancer saw a significant reduction in hot flashes when treated with oxybutynin, an important step forward in survivorship and side-effect care.

Congratulations to Dr. Humeniuk and our investigators for helping advance the future of oncology care!

Students from the Reidville Elementary School choir brought hope and cheer to Gibbs Cancer Center - Pelham as they sang a collection of Christmas carols in front of our poinsettia tree. A crowd of providers and clinical staff came out to the lobby to hear the children sing, led by music teacher Liz Smith. Children also handed out handwritten Christmas cards as a token of appreciation to healthcare workers. Thank you, RVES choir! 🎄

Earlier this month, we were honored to welcome former NFL player Chris Draft to Gibbs Cancer Center, where he shared his passion for raising lung cancer awareness through the Chris Draft Family Foundation. Chris brought white ribbons as simple but powerful reminder of the importance of early detection and lung health education.

Thank you, Chris, for inspiring us and helping spread hope. 🏈🤍
