Breast Oncology The New Jersey Comprehensive Breast Care Center
CINJ's compassionate breast cancer care team includes nurse practitioners, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, breast radiologists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, pathologists, social workers, oncology education specialists and clinical psychologists. When appropriate, patients are evaluated for participation in national cancer clinical research studies as well as for cancer clinical research studies available only at CINJ. New patients should plan to bring mammograms and other breast images with their reports along with pathology slides from any biopsies to their initial visit. Advances in cancer treatment have led to many more people surviving cancer. People who are beyond the active treatment phase of their care may have lingering or late appearing effects from their disease or treatment. As a result, cancer survivors need specialized healthcare services that include proper monitoring and health maintenance activities. The Bridge Program at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey, is a program that is designed to meet the special needs of cancer survivors by addressing their unique health issues. Oncology nurse practitioners and other healthcare team members provide care in this program. The program strives to assist in maintaining and promoting an individual's best possible level of health and improve their overall quality of life. Patients with concerns about hereditary breast cancer or other high-risk breast conditions are evaluated in CINJ's LIFE Center. The LIFE Center is dedicated to teaching young women how to maintain breast health and reduce the factors that increase their risk of breast cancer. Genetic counseling and testing is available in the LIFE Center Useful Links From The Resource and Learning Center: Staff of this Program: Medical Oncology Radiation Oncology Surgical Oncology Oncology Nursing |
