Ruiling Yuan, Adjunct Assistant Professor at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, shared South Carolina Oncology Society’s post on LinkedIn, adding:
“Thank you, South Carolina Oncology Society (SCOS), for highlighting and promoting our work!
A special shout-out to Joanna Metzner-Sadurski, for her dedication and tireless efforts in expanding access to clinical trials and patient education in our rural communities. Grateful for the opportunity and privilege to work alongside you!
Together, with the support of Self Regional Healthcare Medical University of South Carolina and South Carolina Medical Association (SCMA), we continue working to bring high-quality cancer care and clinical research closer to home for our patients.”
South Carolina Oncology Society – SCOS shared:
“Proud to see two of our own featured in the Fall/ Winter 2026 – 27 issue of SCMA Magazine!
SCOS board members Joanna Metzner-Sadurski and Ruiling Yuan are featured in ‘Bringing Clinical Trials Closer to Home,’ a look at how Self Regional Healthcare in Greenwood is expanding access to cancer research for rural patients.
Their work shows that patients in smaller communities don’t have to travel to a major academic center to take part in clinical trials.
Through community-based research, patient education, and a commitment to enrolling diverse patient populations, they’re giving their patients access to tomorrow’s treatments today – and advocating in Washington for rural oncology funding along the way.
Congratulations, Dr. Metzner-Sadurski and Dr. Yuan, and thank you for everything you do for patients across South Carolina!”
