Exceptional Cancer Treatment Close to Home
The Cancer Program at Jersey City Medical Center
At Jersey City Medical Center, we understand the physical and emotional toll that cancer can take on our patients and their families. That is why we are committed to providing the highest level of care through our comprehensive cancer program together with Rutgers Cancer Institute, the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. We offer a wide range of services including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and complex surgicalprocedures including HIPEC to treat some cancers as an alternative to traditional chemotherapy. The groundbreaking cancer research at Rutgers Cancer Institute is the engine that drives access to the most advanced cancer treatments, where our discoveries become your care. To improve clinical outcomes, the Medical Center introduced EON patient management software that tracks findings longitudinally so that oncology patients are able to monitor their progress over time.
We also provide access to clinical trials and a support system to help our patients manage the emotional and practical aspects of cancer treatment. Many services are provided at our Madeline Fiadini LoRe Foundation Infusion Center, located in Colony Plaza, across the street from the main hospital.
Our dynamic multidisciplinary teams of oncologists, nurses, oncology nurse navigators, oncology support professionals, and other care specialists ensure a compassionate, and comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating all types of cancer. They work closely together to provide individualized treatment plans for each patient to address their specific cancer.
Cancer Services
Medical oncology. Our compassionate medical oncologists are trained in cancer diagnosis and treatment. They work closely with our surgical oncologists and radiation oncologists to address each patient’s unique health care needs.
Surgical oncology. Our surgical oncologists combine the expertise of fellowship-trained surgeons with advanced technologies to treat all benign and malignant tumors with complex surgical procedures including minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Radiation oncology. Radiation Oncologists at Jersey City Medical Center deliver radiation therapy in the treatment of cancer, eliminating cancerous cells or tumors while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissue. Each patient is cared for by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, certified radiation therapists, physicists and dosimetrists. Working together, the practice customizes each patient’s treatment plan and assures patient safety and comfort.
Specialized Oncology Nurses
Jersey City Medical Center has received Magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program – the highest honor for professional nursing practice. Our compassionate nurses are an integral part of the high-quality cancer care we provide. They have advanced training in chemotherapy administration and medical and surgical oncology.
An oncology nurse navigator works with each patient to help them through the entire cancer journey, from securing initial appointments to coordinating follow-up visits related to treatments and procedures, all the way through aspects of survivorship.
