With advanced on-site imaging technology, patients benefit from convenient access to high-quality scans and more coordinated care throughout their treatment journey.

The DigniCap experience at South Carolina Oncology Associates is designed to be structured, supportive, and patient-focused. 💙

A specially fitted cooling cap is placed prior to treatment and connected to a controlled cooling system that circulates fluid through the cap. The process begins before chemotherapy, continues during infusion, and extends after treatment to maintain consistent scalp cooling.

Because effectiveness depends on regular use, scalp cooling is incorporated into each chemotherapy session, with our care team providing guidance and support throughout the process.
