Top Cancer Docs 2015New Brunswick, N.J. – Several physicians at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey have been named as a ‘Top Doctor for Cancer Care’ by Inside Jersey magazine.  Each year, Inside Jersey releases a list of the state’s top physicians for cancer care in conjunction with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., which publishes America’s Top Doctors. Based on peer surveys, attributes such as board certification, clinical skills, training, years in practice, administrative posts, achievements and other criteria are reviewed and assessed by a physician-led research team assembled by Castle Connolly.  Cancer Institute of New Jersey physicians are among a select group this year.

“With New Jersey having one of the highest rates of cancer incidence in the nation, it is imperative that Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey – the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center – continue to provide the highest quality of patient care.  Through options such as clinical trials, precision medicine, other research efforts, and utilizing the latest surgical and radiation technologies, our physicians continue to make progress and win the fight against cancer.  It is an honor that our peers recognize our efforts, as well as those of the physicians from our network of hospitals throughout the state,” said Rutgers Cancer Institute Director Robert S. DiPaola, MD.
