The medical center's partnership with Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey gives patients access to the most advanced treatment options, including immunotherapy, blood and marrow transplantation, CAR T-cell therapy, and clinical trials, many of which are not available elsewhere. Patients no longer need to travel far for the latest treatments.
"A cancer diagnosis is life-changing, and for many patients and their families, it is the beginning of a long and sometimes daunting journey," said Michael Scoppetuolo, M.D., Medical Director of the Cancer Center at CBMC. "To that end, I am excited about the research and the top-quality patient care that will take place at this new center. We have an extraordinary medical staff and access to clinical trials and research which sets us apart from other institutions in the state and puts us at the leading edge."

"Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center already offers exceptional cancer care with some of the most advanced and comprehensive care in the state," said Alison Grann, M.D., Chair of the hospital's Department of Radiation Oncology. "This new building will provide the physical environment to match the clinical excellence. This best-in-class, freestanding cancer center will provide the highest-quality science, treatment, and psychosocial services available, distinguishing it from other centers in the region."
Russell Langan, M.D., FACS, Chief of Surgical Oncology & Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center, further emphasized the benefits of having one multidisciplinary location for patients to receive care. "When you have clinicians together under one roof to meet regularly and collaborate, along with integrated services, you are providing peace of mind, greater convenience, and a better experience for the patient. Moreover, in addition to providing this improved peace of mind, the multi-team environment this cancer center will create will also result in better clinical outcomes."
"For well over a century, this medical center has been committed to providing compassionate care, healthcare excellence, and superior service to our patients and their families," said Mr. Davis.
