Core offering

South Carolina Cancer Alliance is a statewide nonprofit coalition that develops and implements the South Carolina Cancer Plan every five years, coordinating cancer prevention, early detection, treatment access, survivorship, policy advocacy, genetics, and pediatric cancer programs across the state. It brings together healthcare systems, public health agencies, community organizations, and volunteers to deliver education, screening initiatives, and survivorship resources to South Carolina residents.

Product overview

The South Carolina Cancer Alliance is a non-profit coalition that serves as the official state cancer control entity, developing and implementing the South Carolina Cancer Plan every five years. The organization does not offer a technology product in the traditional sense; instead, it provides a coordinated suite of cancer prevention, early detection, survivorship, and policy advocacy programs. These include the Cancer Plan framework, prevention education, early detection screening initiatives, survivorship resources, pediatric cancer programs, community education webinars, and volunteer engagement opportunities—all aimed at reducing the cancer burden across South Carolina.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• American Cancer Society (ACS): National nonprofit with deep state-level chapters across the U.S., funding cancer research, prevention, and patient support. Broadly overlaps with the Alliance across prevention, screening access, and survivorship, but operates at national scale across many verticals rather than as a state-designated coalition.
• Prevent Cancer Foundation: National nonprofit focused on cancer prevention and early detection through education, research, and advocacy. Comparable mission overlap with the Alliance's prevention and early detection workgroups, though it operates nationally with grantmaking rather than as a state coalition.
• LIVESTRONG (part of the Lance Armstrong Foundation): National nonprofit delivering cancer survivorship programs, navigation, and quality-of-life support. Directly comparable to the Alliance's survivorship workgroup scope but at national scale and with broader program depth.

Others

• National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (CDC): CDC's umbrella program that funds and coordinates all U.S. state cancer coalitions including the South Carolina Cancer Alliance. Included as an ecosystem/funder peer because it sets the framework and funding template under which the Alliance operates.

Direct peers

• North Carolina Comprehensive Cancer Program: NC's statewide cancer control coalition (housed within the NC Division of Public Health) that develops a multi-year state cancer plan and coordinates screening, prevention, and survivorship initiatives — the same comprehensive cancer control framework implemented by South Carolina Cancer Alliance.
• Florida Cancer Control & Advisory Council (FCC): State of Florida's cancer control advisory body producing the Florida Cancer Plan and coordinating prevention and screening efforts — analogous statewide cancer coalition structure with annual/scheduled planning cycles and state DPH support.
• Alabama Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition: CDC-aligned state cancer coalition in Alabama producing a multi-year cancer plan and coordinating prevention/screening/survivorship initiatives. Closely matches South Carolina Cancer Alliance's structure, scope, and CDC/state-DPH funding model.
• Georgia CORE (Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education): Statewide Georgia coalition coordinating cancer prevention, early detection, and survivorship through healthcare and community partners — directly comparable model to South Carolina Cancer Alliance as a comprehensive cancer control coalition operating within a single U.S. state with DPH/CDC alignment.
• Tennessee Cancer Coalition: Statewide Tennessee cancer coalition delivering a state cancer plan with workgroups covering prevention, early detection, treatment access, and survivorship — directly mirrors the Alliance's eight-priority-area model and partner-led governance.

Regional players

• Susan G. Komen (Susan G. Komen for the Cure): National breast cancer-focused nonprofit with a strong South Carolina affiliate network. Competes for donor mindshare and screening-program sponsorship within the same geography; comparable as a donation-funded advocacy + screening organization but narrower in cancer-type focus.
