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. This is extremely important to patients who have had to travel distances to receive the latest cancer treatments.

At the core of the center’s cancer care is a focus on patients. Besides offering the best cancer care, the center’s patient-centered approach is designed to support patients, families and caregivers through their cancer journey, from screening and diagnosis through treatment and survivorship, with knowledge, expertise and compassion.

Libutti, MD, Director of Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and Senior Vice President, Oncology Services at RWJBarnabas Health.
