Know Cancer

As one of only 41 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers and the only one in New Jersey, The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) is dedicated to improving the prevention, detection, treatment, and care of patients with cancer, through the transformation of laboratory discoveries into clinical practice. To gain a "comprehensive" designation, the highest ranking given by the NCI, a center must meet specific criteria in cancer care, research, prevention and education. As a Center of Excellence of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)– Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, CINJ is committed to learning more about cancer and making its discoveries available to the public to aid in disease prevention. CINJ offers its patients access to the latest cancer research studies and experimental therapies.
