World-Class Cancer Research
Atlantic Health System leads the fight against cancer with cutting-edge research. Our Atlantic Health Cancer Consortium (AHCC) is the first New Jersey-based National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP).
Covering about 70% of the state’s population, the AHCC NCORP improves patient access to clinical trials focusing on cancer prevention, screening, care delivery, treatment and quality of life.
In addition, physicians and health care professionals at Atlantic Health System Cancer Care participate in internationally-recognized research for cancers in more than 75 phase I to III clinical trials. Studies on the newest cancer treatments include:
- Tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy for melanoma, head and neck cancer and lung cancer
- The role of metabolism and first-in-class drugs (CPI-613) for stage 4 pancreatic cancer and other gastrointestinal cancers
- Novel small molecule chemotherapeutics for glioblastoma
- Immunoncology treatments for head and neck cancer associated with HPV as well as lung cancer

Cancers We Treat
Head and Neck Cancer
Due to their location, head and neck cancers can lead to personal appearance issues and problems speaking, eating or breathing. That’s why in all of our treatments – whether it’s the cutting edge TrueBeam radiotherapy or transoral robotic surgery – we strive to restore normal function as much as possible for our patients. We also have a team specializing in oropharyngeal cancers associated with HPV. Our support groups help patients quit using tobacco and make other life style changes designed to prevent cancer reoccurrence.
Gastrointestinal Cancer
Treatment in the earliest stages is the goal for all cancers, but especially colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Atlantic Health System Cancer Care has a dedicated colon cancer screening center and participates in clinical trials. These trials offer some of the most promising treatments for pancreatic cancer that are not yet available at other health care systems. In addition, we use hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which can destroy microscopic cancer cells and prevent recurrence of cancers that originate or spread to the abdomen.
Lung and Thoracic Cancer
Home to the largest thoracic surgical program in the state, Atlantic Health System Cancer Care specializes in minimally invasive techniques. This includes video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), which results in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times. Our nurse navigators educate and guide patients and their families through every step of the treatment process. We also offer counseling services to help smokers quit the habit.
