NAVIGATING YOUR CANCER JOURNEY-WITH CONFIDENCE

A CANCER DIAGNOSIS MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A JOURNEY FILLED WITH UNCERTAINTY AND CRITICAL DECISIONS.

When a doctor says, "You have cancer," it’s natural to feel overwhelmed by questions about treatment, finances, and how this will affect your daily life. Jersey's Best magazine, in partnership with Castle Connolly, offers the 2024 list of New Jersey's Top Cancer Doctors to help guide you through the process of finding the right oncologist, a choice that can significantly impact your cancer journey.

The Personal Side of Oncology

Choosing an oncologist is a personal decision that requires more than just evaluating medical qualifications; it also involves finding a doctor who brings compassion and understanding to the table. According to a recent National Cancer Institute 2024 report, New Jersey's age-adjusted cancer incidence rate is 481.9 per 100,000 people, higher than the national average of 442.3. Yet, the state's mortality rate is lower than the national average — 141.0 compared to 149.4 per 100,000 people.

These statistics underscore the importance of skilled and empathetic oncologists who can guide patients through treatment and offer the best chance for a positive outcome.
