The goal of The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) is to lower the number of cancer cases and deaths in New Jersey. This is accomplished by finding new ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer.
CINJ helps cancer researchers, physicians, and patients throughout the state and region by offering outreach and educational programs. In addition, the institute supports efforts in clinical and basic research.
The CINJ Providers' Network includes:
- Doctors
- Hospitals
- Cancer treatment centers
The network can rapidly share important discoveries through the network. Member hospitals and doctors make clinical trials and experimental treatments available to their local areas.
CINJ advises network members about how they can develop, run, and assess cancer programs. These programs may include:
- Cancer research
- Community outreach
- Psychosocial services
CINJ faculty members attend regular meetings of tumor boards and cancer committees. They also lecture at cancer conferences and seminars that are held at network institutions.
