Working together with a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists, our department uses highly advanced cancer care techniques including multimodality imaging for defining tumor volume, state-of-the-art intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), MRI-based treatment planning, and interstitial brachytherapy using high dosage rate treatment. Radiation oncology services and treatment are provided at University Hospital Newark in Newark, New Jersey. Located in The Cancer Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, the Department of Radiation Oncology offers 3D Conformal External Beam Radiotherapy, Extracranial Radiosurgery, Gynecologic Brachytherapy, Intensity Modulated, Radiotherapy (IMRT), Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) Prostate Brachytherapy, Stereotactic Radiosurgery, Stereotactic Radiotherapy, Proton Therapy, Total Body Irradiation (TBI), Image Guided Radiation Therapy, High dose rate Brachytherapy, and Gamma Knife.

Support services are geared towards the individual needs of the patient. The radiation oncologist, along with the nursing and residency staff see the patient throughout their course of radiation therapy.

As they progress through treatment, more detailed information on skin care, diet and nutrition and dealing with potential side effects is reinforced weekly during their visits. From the first time a patient enters the Department, they are provided with customized treatment information. Working together, the department customizes each patient’s treatment plan and assures patient safety and comfort. Each patient is cared for by a team of physicians, advanced practice nurses, registered nurses, certified radiation therapists, physicists and dosimetrists.

Outstanding radiation treatment requires a team approach. The program is home to New Jersey's only residency training program in Radiation Oncology. In addition to the advanced therapeutic care offered in our state-of-the-art clinical facilities, the Division of Radiation Cancer Biology conducts basic science research with the goal of translating research findings into improved radiation treatment of cancer. The Divisions of Clinical Radiation Oncology and Radiation Physics has the latest technology that allows for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), high dose rate brachytherapy and innovative proton therapy at the Laurie Proton Therapy Center at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. The Department combines the latest in technology with personalized and supportive care throughout and after treatment. Residents will be regularly evaluated on the ACGME Core Competencies, which have been incorporated into the program’s curriculum.The Department of Radiation Oncology at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey is committed to providing patients the information and support services they need to achieve the best possible treatment outcome. The program’s goals and objectives have been designed and structured to meet the specific educational criteria designated by the ACGME’s Common Program, Institutional, and RRC Program Requirements for Graduate Medical Education in Radiation Oncology. The Keck School of Medicine Radiation Oncology Residency Training Program is located on the USC Health Science Campus near metropolitan Los Angeles. The Radiation Oncology Residency Training Program is a four-year (48-month) training program, which is accredited by the ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education). We train our residents to practice medicine with compassion and responsiveness in a collaborative multi-disciplinary environment
